WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
I live and breathe design.
You can learn Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator etc., but these are just tools. You can't learn PASSION FOR DESIGN, when you "raise" your design work and feel it.
I CARE about it, I want my design to make people HAPPY, help them FEEL GOOD and maybe even SMILE!
Designer should be hungry for knowledge, open for new turns on design path, ready to start over and dare more.
Challenge herself and be aware of amazing design works happening every second around the world.
Designer needs to have something from childhood when we believe that IMPOSSIBLE is POSSIBLE.

“GREAT DESIGN”
