When I was a kid, at 11 years old (in 2004), my parents bought me a computer—an old HP with a cathode ray tube monitor. At first, I used it without the internet, but after a year, I finally got online. I was amazed by how it was possible to browse the web and visit pages from other countries, and I immediately wanted to have my own website. After reading many books, at the age of 12, I launched my first webpage using HTML. Now, I have to admit—it was a silly page with copy-pasted news and articles for my friends. But still, it was my creation, built with HTML back in 2004.

Over the years, I kept improving that page until, at 14, I received my first official order - from my cousin, who asked me to create a website for his company. I did it! I was proud of myself, and my parents were too. In fact, my father was so impressed that he asked me to build a website for his own business. And that’s how my journey in web design began - when I was just a kid.
