Skills and Interests

Art is My Passion
I have been creative for as long as I can remember. First, I got fascinated with drawing and painting, then sculpture, and now digital media art. My love for the art expresses itself in high quality products that would satisfy even most demanding clients.

Traditional Media
At the age of six, I attended a four-year art school in which I studied drawing and painting techniques, color, and sculpture. Years of artistic experience allow me to apply traditional media rules to the digital world resulting in creative designs worth of thousand words.

Digital Media
Advanced artistic skills in image and photo manipulation, web and graphic design, animation and video production, as well as web programming allow me to work on any imaginable project and be successful at it.

Web Programming Languages (HTML/CSS, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL)
A personal interest in programming allows me to successfully code the websites that I design myself and to extend these skills into other advanced projects, such as game development.

Digital Design Software (Adobe Photoshop, In-Design, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, Microsoft Front Page, Corel Painter, Open Canvas)
My experience with the software above started as a personal interest in digital art and continues with the projects that I am involved in today.

Common Web Engines (Wordpress, Drupal, phpBB, IP.Board, Zen Cart)
I am a master at installation, management, and custom design for these popular engines.

Languages
Currently I am fluent in three languages: English, Russian, and Ukrainian. This knowledge was applied multiple times in different web and print projects in order to reach out to a wider global audience.
