Hi! I'm a web designer based in Martinez, California. I've always been drawn to the overlap between design and development and believe that magic happens when you combine the two.
UX design, UI design, research, napkin sketches, experimenting, finding solutions
Front-end development, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, trial and error, making it work
Well, I could do without, but it definitely helps ;)
When not coding, I can be found around an indie film set in various capasities: acting, directing, camera, sound, etc. My current camera of choice: Canon 5D Mark IV.
I speak English and Russian.
I'm a cat person. Don't get me wrong — I love other animals too. It's just with cats, we seem to have the best mutual understanding.
Love sci-fi and fantasy: books, movies, dress-up — you name it.
I played a Twi'lek in a Star Wars fan film.
I'm into coffee and posess a variety of equipment to prepare it: from a traditional Turkish pot to a Nespresso machine. Cream — yes, please, but hold the sugar.
Started my tech career as a Quality Assurance engineer, and then transitioned into making bugs rather than hunting them. And while I can't QA my own creations — thought I might for a hot minute, but quickly learned better — having that experience still helps.
Was born in Tallinn, Estonia.
I read poetry on YouTube.
