Home Branding UX / UI Social Media Prints & Others

HELLO WORLD!
A strong logics behind design is what I like and believe yet with creative approach. I like to give users (whether UX or graphic lines) easy and comfortable feeling in complicated environment. Some say “less is more” can be a tag to put next to my profile.

And yes - deadlines are as important as graphic lines for me so professionalism is valued very high from me.

I’m experienced graphic and UX UI designer yet eager to learn new. With full commitment to my work and positive attitude I try to walk through life. With international work experience including UK & Middle East in multinational teams, I have gained knowledge in communication between different nationalities and cultures. Current residence - Denmark.

Aside from design, mountain biking is big part of my everyday now as it is perfect combination of two of my loves - sports and nature.
