Calgary, Canada
of making things
15 years
look better than they did before.
Hello, I’m Denys Tarabanov, Designer, Code Tinkerer
If it has a canvas
and a save button,
I can probably
work with it.
I design interfaces, build websites, lay out print stuff, and pretend to know what kerning is. I speak fluent Adobe, dabble in JavaScript, and do cool stuff with CSS.
Wix, Tilda, WordPress, or cousin’s homemade CMS I can make it look good, work right and (usually) deliver on time.
Give me Adobe, Figma, Sketch, Framer, Gimp – I’ll get the job done. Throw in a bit of Stable Diffusion or whatever AI tool is trending this week, and I’ll figure it out. After 15 years in design, you stop being picky and start being resourceful.
