Summary

Some years ago, after long period of freelancing, I felt that I would like to work again on bigger projects with colleagues as a part of a good team. Looking back at my earlier work in television, graphic design, and running a small business, I started to see a common pattern: I had always been working with people, solving problems, and communicating through visuals. When I worked as a graphic designer, I enjoyed creating beautiful things, but I often felt that something was missing—the reasoning behind the aesthetics, the understanding of what actually makes a product useful. UX gave me that missing piece.


With my experience, I bring a steady, practical approach to work. I’m reliable, focused, and I care about solving real problems that users are running into. Over the past years, I’ve been learning UX in a hands-on way—through courses, bootcamps, and real projects—covering research, strategy, design, prototyping, and even behavioral psychology.


Now I’m looking to join a team where I can continue developing my skills, contribute in a meaningful way, and help create products that work for people.
