I have begun designing websites about the year 2000, in the beginning – out of necessity, to help my mother, who was an artist, with her desire to create a website on Russian Avant-garde art. And, to my complete surprise, I found an affinity to the task. Since then, things have developed a lot, I have created numerous websites, and my abilities have developed with them.

Though this is not my primary occupation, I love doing it, as I simply choose to work with what I love doing. And in website design, I love taking site owners’ idea of what their site should be, the feeling and energy they would like to convey and turning it into something tangible, in color and picture and text. Into a virtual space where they may feel at home, where they want to visit every day themselves.

And then I love showing them how to operate all this magic on their own so that they wouldn’t be dependent on me forever. I love watching the faces of people who never before owned or operated a website light up when they publish content on their own for the first time.
