Description

I think curiosity is one of the most important qualities a person can have — staying open, excited, and always ready to learn or experience something new. That’s what truly inspires me: exploring new places, discovering different cultures, and meeting people along the way. I’m curious about others — how they live, think, and perceive the world. I feel grateful when someone shares their story, perspective, or experience with me. You can learn something meaningful from every person you meet.

At the same time, I really value quiet moments and personal space — both mine and others’. Sometimes I have a strong need for peaceful, regenerative solitude: to hug trees, lie on the grass, or sing by the ocean (sounds very romantic, but well, totally true).

I also love animals and feel very happy around them, and I tend to bond with them quite quickly. I sometimes volunteer taking care of horses, which I absolutely adore — it’s another kind of therapy for me.

I’m a creative person at heart, so I naturally enjoy anything that involves making, designing, or bringing ideas to life. I bring creativity, openness, and responsibility into everything I do. I learn quickly and tend to fully commit myself to whatever I’m involved in.

A little bit about me: I’m from Ukraine and moved to Portugal in 2022, for known reasons. I work remotely as an illustrator and animator. For pleasure, I also love to sing, dance, practice yoga, sew, do street art. I’m especially curious about history, art, and cinematography, and I also enjoy learning about neurobiology, anthropology, and psychology — trying to better understand how and why we, as human beings, think, act, and change.

I’m excited about new experiences, meaningful connections, and creating memories through exploring and contributing. I’d love to meet you, help where I can, learn something new — and hopefully share something from my world with you too.

More details about your skills

I work as an illustrator and animator, so I can help with visual projects, creative tasks, or anything that needs an artistic touch. And I can teach you something as well!

I can help with:

– creative projects (drawing, painting, design, murals, decorations)

– social media visuals or content if needed

– basic sewing, crafting, or DIY tasks

– taking care of animals (I often take care of my friends' pets while they're away. Also, I have some experience with horses and feel very comfortable around animals in general.)
– organizing spaces (I actually find it quite calming)

– light gardening or outdoor help

- general maintenance and cleaning

I’m also quite adaptable and a quick learner — even if I’ve never done something before, I usually pick things up fast and enjoy the process of learning by doing. I’m responsible, attentive, and I really try to do things well and with care.
