My professional practice is long enough. I worked for companies and private persons in Bulgaria, Malta, England, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Netherlands. My commitments were to Penk Design, City Print 3, Th!nk Fitness, Tundja Press Publishing, Ad Agency Adonis, InPulz Magazine, Budmax, Yellow Pages, Yambol Plast, Veselina Radio and many others. For these companies I prepared a variety of design production - from the small print forms such as business cards, forms and labels, to concepts and graphic design of newspapers, magazines, books and others, including the development of the entire ad campaigns and strategies for new products or target groups. Some of the websites on which I worked are fully developed by me, including photographs, articles in English and Bulgarian, as well as usability and accessibility.
