Founder, Producer, Event Manager
Vilnius, Lithuania
Dec 2024 - Present (7 months)
Music has always been one of my personal hobbies. Following my natural approach to creative growth, I gradually moved from home DJ sets and small gatherings to organizing full-scale public events.
Since 2024, I have founded and managed POPLAU — a local music community and event series. Starting with small home parties, I expanded the scale to venue-based events with up to 100+ attendees.
Both events were commercially successful — which is uncommon for events at this level — and became an important milestone in building the community.
Key responsibilities & achievements:
- Organized music events from scratch: concept creation, artist search, location scouting, promotion, and on-site management.
- Managed music production processes: voice recording, arrangement, mixing, mastering.
- Coordinated a creative team and built partnerships with local artists.
- Created a recognizable community brand and grew the audience organically.
- Successfully managed event budgets and achieved profitability.

Founder, Product Designer & Project Lead
Estonia
Feb 2022 - Present (3 years 5 months)
Founded my own web studio to focus on project design, while building teams of external developers and creatives based on project needs.
Over time, I successfully selected and collaborated with more than 10 developers for various projects — many of whom I continue working with regularly. Additionally, I hired illustrators, 3D designers, copywriters, and marketing specialists to deliver comprehensive digital products.
I am fully responsible for client search, project management, team coordination, and final delivery. I act as the key link between clients and all team members throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Experimented with different marketing channels for client search — direct networking and cold outreach in niche online communities proved to be the most effective. Some of my clients have been working with me since the very beginning.
Key responsibilities & achievements:
- Designed and delivered custom websites and web apps for clients in Europe and the US.
- Built project teams of external developers and creatives based on project scope.
- Managed full-cycle projects: from client briefing to final delivery.
- Led product design, UI/UX, and worked closely with development teams.
- Developed design systems, prototypes, and documentation for projects.
- Optimized websites for performance, SEO, and responsive design.
- Built long-term relationships with clients, providing ongoing support.
As of April 2025, I am completing the largest project in my career — METLA, a web application for cleaning services, including CRM functionality. The project is currently in alpha-testing and is expected to launch for clients within a month.
