About
The world is changing. But it’s so nice to look at the path and remember a lot of jumps, steps and movements, wich made me what I am.
Long time ago
I was born in artist’s family. From early childhood I was surrounded by art. Drawings, paintings, pungently spiced by modern mother’s fashion ideas. I drew a lot. Then computer’s era comes.
My room, big display with lines of code on it and a comfortable chair in front – a place that i like. May not be a paradise, but at least something wich is very, very close to it. But I was not just a programmer.
The day before yesterday
First, I wanted to become a coder. Choosing my university, I thought, I was realized in programming. No new to learn and I plunged into art. So, I entered the design faculty of the Moscow State University of Service.
Harness the horizons of the new profession began with the first course. Before I defend my degree work, I had worked in a dozen of advertising agencies and creative studios. During this time a lot of private projects was accomplished. Including everything – from websites to interior design and corporate identity.
That times are remembered as a colorful whirlwind of events. In the morning I was able to render the interior for one customer, and in the evening – to show to another one how works a program which is written by me. But it was still necessary to have a time to learn! And I managed.
Yesterday
In 2006 I created a design company, which gave a stunning experience of my own business and my first real capital. Talking with a client on behalf of the whole team is very nice, especially if you understand that the result will be perfect.
The joy was not long. Crazy schedule and night working, wafted into my head the decision to sell my business. What actually has been done.
Than the free time appeared and I ran a long-planned projects in the internet. Started from a several Web services. Posted a couple of original programs for Mac.
After some time, I was invited to teach in high school. Ability to test my strength in this new work seemed interesting to me. So, I agreed. Since then I allocate a small portion of my time for this.
One of my lecturers often recalled the aphorism: “If you want to really learn something – come to teach it.” Indeed, when we teach, we unconsciously look for new ways, simplifying decisions. Wonderful way to hone our skills.
Today
It’s a pleasure to work with people who completely forgets about the borders and stereotypes. We create something new. Today I realize that my goals are achievable. They are very close.
I do the next step.
