I design and build websites, product images, and video. Photoshop since 2020, my own shops at 16, and now I work from Thessaloniki for people anywhere.

What I do

Websites

A page a stranger can use on a phone. Clear enough to send without explaining it in the email.

What I work on

  • 01WebsitesMarketing sites and personal pages that load fast and read clearly.
  • 02Product imagesStills for shops and campaigns that still look like the product.
  • 03VideoShort films for a homepage, a launch, or an ad.
  • 04StoresStorefronts and product pages planned together with the photos.
  • 05BrandLogos, layouts, and files a printer or developer can use.
  • 06AI imagesGenerated frames used where they help, never as a filter on a bad photo.

How I got here

Oldest at the top. The work that stuck, year by year.

  1. Adobe grind

    Got good at Photoshop and Illustrator for real. Not random filters.

  2. First store

    At 16 the shop in North Macedonia was doing up to €2,500 a month. My parents thought I was joking.

  3. More shops

    Ran more than one. If it moved for money I tried it. Sleep was optional.

  4. UK company

    Opened a company in the UK so the work could leave North Macedonia.

  5. Thessaloniki

    Moved to study Communications and Digital Media. New city, same grind.

  6. The studio

    The SaaS pile failed. The pictures, the video, and the sites stayed.

  7. Still at it

    Sites, pictures, and video, from Thessaloniki, for people anywhere.
