Graphic
Design

With an eye for detail and a little obsession with the perfection I spend most of my time behind a screen creating some stylish materials and projects.

Web design
& Building

Apart from designing posts, leaflets, posters or visual IDs, I also make websites based on WordPress and Elementor – just like this one!

Comms

After my first failed semester in Informatics, I spend my free 6 months looking for something fun to do and believe it or not, I came across a job at Microsoft, which combined my passion for technology with marketing, design & project management!

Management

Thanks to my amazing colleagues I was able to work with a group of high school students enrolled in skilling program which I directed.
