Additional information

Hello! My name is Valeriia.
I'm junior web designer. 
I have 10 years of experience in the hairdressing industry. 

 Web design started as a hobby - I taught myself by learning design tools, watching video tutorials, and reading articles. 

 In 2021, I completed a course at Source IT, where I gained basic UI/UX skills and practical experience. 
After that, I worked on my first project - a multi-page website for a beauty salon with online store functionality. 

When the war started, I had to move. 
 There I continued my studies, took on small freelance projects, and worked as a data annotator.

After the project was completed, I moved to Poland. For a while, I returned to hairdressing, but in my free time I continued to study and design.

During this period, I created a concept for a website and a mobile app for the StillPoint yoga studio - this project is available in my portfolio on Behance.

 I have also completed several UI/UX design courses on Udemy and continue to improve my skills by reading tutorials, articles, webinars, and learning new tools. 
 I'm currently looking for a team where I can grow as a designer and contribute to creative, meaningful projects.
