I was taught to do all these things on practice, guided by my respected teachers, so i cant say im entirely self-educated person:)

Years ago I worked as a lecturer of Applied Linguistics on the Chair of Translation and Chair of Information Technologies.
I can call it a kind of hobby along with the main activity, as far as knowledge of foreign languages is apprehended by employers as not more than competitive advantage. I decided to learn something more and re-trained as designer, worked in polygraphy, web and corporate identity areas.

Soon, after years when I understood that just nice website is not enough to have success on the web, I began making more people-oriented work, paying attention to the usability and neds of real people which are the end users of any product
Usability analysis of software and web applications is the main thing im interested in at this moment, so store of knowledge concerning it enriches day after day.

Also Im certified psychotherapist of European Association of Gestalt Therapy, and I enjoy having my small practice which is so interesting and helps me in my main usability activities in Ukraine and abroad.
