Welcome to my portfolio!

Before UI/UX, I worked in Teaching and and Tourism Industry over five years. Working with Different ages, different cultures, different problems.

Listening, understanding, and helping was part of my everyday work , long before I knew those were design skills.

Later, I moved to Turkey and started everything from zero.

It was uncomfortable but also the beginning of something important.

A friend of mine, an entrepreneur in tech and IT at that time told me:


“You have a good eye for colors and typography. You should try design.”


That sentence changed a lot.

My first day working as a Designer in Turkey.

I started working with Adobe tools (later moved fully to Figma) and soon had the chance to help early stage startups in Lithuania with their UI/UX processes. It wasn’t easy. Startups are messy, fast, and full of uncertainty.

I learned how to work with ambiguity, accept failure, redesign again and again, and communicate better with teams , sometimes without having all the answers.

Along the way, I traveled across Europe to events like Web Summit and CloudFest. I met founders, listened to pitches, learned how to present myself, present products, and connect with people from all over the world.

Those experiences shaped how I think about design , not as visuals, but as communication.

my first experience in WebSummit, presenting our company and Lithuanian Startup ecosystem.

Today, I design experiences with the same mindset I had years ago:
listen carefully, understand deeply, and create solutions that actually make sense for people.

I’m still learning. Still curious. Still asking “why?”
And that’s probably the best place to be.
