No-code

I've built a lot of Tilda, Webflow and some Framer websites. I've made this particular portfolio using Framer. My no-code approach is to make a website easy to maintain and support further without my help.

Design

The design process I prefer is iterative. I try to work in short iterations and collaborate with different researchers. I build quick prototypes to test ideas early and then improve them step by step.

Branding

I can create full brand systems — from logo to style guide. I know how to prepare files for print and digital (prepress, color modes, formats). My goal is to make sure designs not only look good but also work well IRL.
