Crafting Seamless User Experiences

I'm Sergei Serafimovich. A full-stack, product-oriented web designer, and developer, with a primary focus on UX/UI and user interaction. Throughout my career, I have seamlessly integrated design and development roles, enabling me to excel in finding effective solutions for tasks in both fields and comprehending the bigger picture.

My passion for web design, particularly interactive design, ignited with my first encounter with Adobe Flash (it was Macromedia Flash back then). This technology allowed me to enhance both my graphic and programming skills. At the age of 16 I completed my first commercial website for a client.
