About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphical and web designer, love afternoons drinking tee and meeting interesting people.
Love to play piano, but in last 3 years, I'm not playing professionally or in concerts, so lost my skills.
Now - I'm studying hard drawing and painting, so almost all my evenings I spend in art academy.

As a freelance designer I have sometimes a lots of free time, but sometimes I'm lost into my work.
Traveling for me is not only place where you go, and sightseeing.

What i really like about traveling - is to get to know new interesting people.

I don't want to grow up - so I keep my dreams alive, don't make big plans for tomorrow.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to stuck in one place, I'm learning all the time, because there is so much i want to know how to do!!
You can stay in 5star hotel if you can afford it, but meeting people from all around the world is experience you can't get for money..it is much more worth than that!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like jazz, rock and classical music. Lately fell in love in Brazilian beets, to bad that I have only 2 CDs.
When I'm sad i enjoy listening Damian Rice.
My favorite author is Victor Hugo.
My all time favorite movie is Edward Scissorhands by Tim Burton.
I'm a big fan of painter Frida :)

I could teach how to manage such programs as Adobe Photoshop.

I would really like to learn to draw or paint, I'm learning it now, it takes lots of practice...
