About

I am a web designer and website developer with experience since 2019. I create and improve websites for businesses, digital projects, and experts — from structure and visual design to responsive implementation, functionality setup, and launch.

I work with Tilda, WordPress, Figma, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I use AI-assisted workflows to speed up design, structure analysis, code generation and review, debugging, content preparation, UX hypotheses, and technical problem solving.

I can not only prepare a visual design, but also bring a website to a working implementation: build pages, set up responsive layouts, forms, basic SEO structure, analytics, and publishing on a domain.
