Bio&Disclaimer

A good time of day to you, dear visitors!

This is a portfolio website for one of the most creative and versatile people you have ever met. I am always on the go, always changing, and there is no wonder therefore that I have gone from studying Medieval and Early Modern History through making and presenting radio shows to Advertising. History helped me to gain knowledge; Broadcast Media taught to, well, broadcast whatever there is to publicise; and Advertising taught to sell and make money (and helped me to earn it, too).

I was doing all that while I was also honing my writing talent, studying Cinema by my own effort, dabbling into Music, and developing serious passion for Photography. My entire familial legacy takes me into the realm of Arts, and there is nothing I can do about it. Thus, first and foremost, I am looking forward to meeting fellow artists from around the globe.

At the same time, I do love using my skills, particularly in Digital, Research, and Translation. The purpose of some sections of this portfolio site is to give you an idea of how I can help your projects and business.  I have years of experience at that, in addition to being a confident and inspiring public speaking.

The site also stores an archive of articles written between 2005 and 2006 for various online outlets that had now gone. And it showcases my Photography and Translations.

You can view the range of services I provide on a freelance basis and consult my CV.
