I studied architecture and interior design, moved to Belgium, and spent years doing hard physical work while searching for something I truly wouldn&#8217;t burn out on. I enrolled in a cross-media design programme for adults \u2014 and the moment I opened Photoshop, something clicked. I suddenly remembered that at 12 or 13 I used to spend hours making menus and cards for an online game, completely absorbed, losing track of time. That feeling came back immediately.It still does. When I sit down to work on a brand or a website, time disappears.<br>I offer something most designers don&#8217;t: <strong>one person who handles everything<\/strong> \u2014 logo, brand identity, website, social media visuals, and print materials. No handoffs between different specialists, no inconsistency between your logo designer and your web designer. Everything comes from the same creative vision.<br>I work primarily with small businesses and startups who are building their visual presence from scratch \u2014 or who need to finally make it look the way their business actually deserves.<br>Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Figma, WordPress.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share uagb-social-share__outer-wrap
