Our first Montréal Christmas. It was a big decision to move here, and I'm glad we did.

How wonderful to recieve presents from family and spend the Cutlass Eve with with friends!

✨ Small, consistent steps lead to big milestones. ✨

This past year has been one of the most challenging yet transformative chapters of my life. From pregnancy and childbirth to traveling, immigrating to Canada, and starting a new life from scratch with my family — it’s been a whirlwind.

Amidst it all, I kept moving forward, even when it felt like I could only take small, incremental steps. And today, I’m thrilled to share a milestone: I’ve completed the second course of the Google UX Design Certificate! 🎉

In this course, I honed my skills in:
- Empathizing with users to deeply understand their needs and pain points,
- Crafting clear problem statements to define user needs,
- Generating creative solutions for real user problems,
- Designing wireframes and prototypes that bring ideas to life,
- Conducting user research to inform and improve design decisions.

It’s a reminder that progress doesn’t always require giant leaps. Even during the busiest or most uncertain times, small, consistent actions add up.

If you’re passionate about UX/UI design, mental health, or navigating change while pursuing your goals, I’d love to connect. Let’s inspire and support each other on this journey. 💡

Эти уютные пятки едут сегодня в свою, новую квартиру. Наверно, теперь можно сказать, что мы совсем-совсем переехали в Канаду.

Adam is 1 month old and we're all thriving!

1.5 years on the road and 24 countries was nice, but it's time to Arrive Home. Our team of 4 👨🏼🤰🏼🧒🏼 is coming to Winnipeg.

Santiago was cold and rainy. It reminded me of a cold winter in China, because it was quite rough. Santiago beautifully framed with mountains, some of them are green, others had snow tops.

On the day 1 we were figuring out some paperwork. On the day 2 we got to run around the raining city. When the rain was becoming stronger, we were hiding in malls. And then we unexpectedly had to leave to a new country.

Hope to see you in summer Santiago.

Yep, it's my new UX Design certificates from Google. The first one of the seven. 🥳💻💪

5-Figure Product Launch Formula. It's a resource about launching profitable info products without running ads, building funnels, shooting videos of writing sales pages. That Andrew and I are developing right now. It's coming soon.

I have a passion for capturing myself at the threshold of different chapters in my life. It's a moment of reflection, saying goodbye, and already peering into the outlines of a new adventure.

As we were preparing to leave Tbilisi, I reached out to , and she found a day to photograph me in the Vake. We wandered around the neighborhood, visited Paul opposite the park, where I often took walks while pregnant, and we were close to the house where Thomas was born. We also took pictures among the New Year's trees. Those were the days right after New Year's, still festive, filled with thoughts about our upcoming journey.

In the photos, I look tired - I was buried under a landslide of tasks then. But as I gaze at this familiar Vake, I remember the person I was, still steeped in Georgian culture, but already prepared to move on, still immersed in the routine of Tbilisi life, yet already starting to pack up.

By the way, Tanya organizes therapeutic photo sessions, and appointments can be booked with her:

I don't know where Thomas's creativity is coming from, but it's impressive!
