01 / ABOUT

About me.

I’m a digital marketer who thinks in systems rather than silos.

My work brings together on-page SEO, content clusters, blog posts, and website improvements that make the customer journey clearer. For B2B brands like Ad Badger and Search Scientists, I’ve worked across content strategy, podcast production, and brand development, with a focus on helping people find what they need and take the next step.

My focus is measurable results, doubling organic visibility, scaling efficient workflows, and driving conversion growth of up to 55%.

I also actively use Claude AI to support my day-to-day marketing work.

WHERE IT STARTED

Two internships.
A foundation in digital media.

Two different organizations that shaped my skills in digital media and marketing.

FEB 2021 to JUN 2022

Uainkrakow.pl

The first portal for Ukrainians in Krakow

Hands-on experience in copywriting, optimizing content for search intent, and applying SEO principles in editorial work during my Master’s degree in Digital Media.

Experience & work samples

My team and I noticed that many Ukrainian expatriates in Krakow lacked accessible, high-quality information about local news and cultural events. This insight shaped our approach: connecting people with the cultural life around them and helping them feel informed, included, and at home.

I wrote news and culture articles, transcribed and edited texts for clarity, optimized content for search engines, and created photo reports. I authored a news article covering the nomination of Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan for the Nobel Prize in Literature, emphasizing his literary achievements and cultural impact during wartime.

Ukrainian Congress

Edmonton Branch

Visual content marketing: brochures, business cards, banners, pop-ups, and social graphics that supported brand visibility and communication.

Experience & work samples

I specialized in diverse visual content, creating promotional materials and event announcements for print and digital channels. Through this experience, I learned how visual identity works in practice and why consistency in design is essential for effective marketing communication.
