My graphic design journey actually started way back in high school, when I began learning 3D design in my free time. I just loved everything about it – understanding and building the geometry of all kinds of objects, playing with textures and materials, working on lighting, building scenes just from my imagination. No wonder that little hobby quickly turned into something more and I started joining different contests and challenges and even won quite a few along the way.
But I guess that wasn’t enough for me, so eventually I also discovered my real passion for 2D design and finally realized that design could be more than just a fun pastime during my studies at the University, but something I could turn into a career.
So what started as a simple hobby quickly grew into something much bigger – a career where I’ve had the chance to work on hundreds of projects for different worldwide brands, local businesses, quite a few Amazon sellers and currently be a part of one of best and biggest Packaging and Branding design studio teams in Baltics (Europe).
I’ve worked on just about every kind of design you can think of – logos, packaging, branding, ads, websites, and all kinds of print materials. Along the way, I also learned all the ins and outs of print production, setting up layouts, picking the right Pantones, finding the perfect values for CMYK colors and making sure everything looks as good on paper as it does on screen.
– that is my passion and it always will be. I believe that great design communicates through well-thought-out details, carefully chosen layouts, and a professional overall feel. Just a few seconds – that is all you have to attract a new customer. So if done right, design doesn’t just look good – it grabs attention, builds trust, and explains what a brand is about in just a blink of an eye.
What I enjoy most is figuring out what really works for each product or business. That’s the kind of work I love doing, and it’s why so many of my clients have seen real success from the designs we’ve created together.
Feel free to explore my work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested in collaborating on your next project.
I’d love to hear from you!
