About me

Since childhood, I have been deeply immersed in drawing, spending 3 years in an art school where I learned the fundamentals of drawing, painting, composition, and color theory. I have always been diligent, capable of dedicating extended periods to my pictures.

In the modern world, people constantly interact with digital interfaces to solve their problems. The usability and functionality of digital products influence significantly impact the efficiency of task execution, consequently influencing the success of the product. Many products are not designed with users in mind, leading to frustration and reluctance to continue using them.

I have always been interested by the inner workings of applications and other interfaces. I enjoy exploring the user experience of products and enhancing it. I aspire to create products that are user-friendly, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

I constantly strive to stay updated on the latest trends in design and digital, read specialized literature, articles, blogs, watch training videos, improve visibility and usability by studying various mobile applications and sites in terms of ease of interaction with them. Periodically, I refine my skills; for instance, I have acquired the basics of HTML/CSS, enabling me to better comprehend the website development process and collaborate effectively with frontend developers. In my free time, I draw on a graphics tablet, create my own layouts and simple logos, and engage in personal projects.
