500+ books in — and not one of them made itself.
I'm Viktoria, a book layout and prepress specialist with 10+ years of experience. I handle the part of publishing that readers never see — but always feel when it's done wrong.
Adobe InDesign, GREP automation, prepress for print and Amazon KDP — that's my toolkit. My clients are publishers, independent authors, and self-publishers who need a reliable specialist, not a generalist.
If you work with books and quality matters — reach out. 🙂

Hi, I’m Sofia — an AI Product Content Creator.
I help brands create commercial AI photos and videos without the need for expensive and time-consuming photoshoots.
I specialize in product visuals for beauty, lifestyle, and consumer brands that want to launch products faster, test creative concepts, and stand out in competitive markets.
My work combines marketing, design, AI tools, editing, and sound design. I manage the entire creative process — from concept development and creative direction to final visual content.
With an artistic background, I have a strong understanding of composition, lighting, textures, and visual storytelling. I enjoy creating content that not only looks beautiful but also captures attention, builds desire, and enhances the perceived value of a product.
Beyond my work, I am passionate about music and art. I sing, paint, and currently learn to play the piano. Interestingly, my academic background is in Civil Engineering, which helps me combine creativity with a structured and strategic approach to every project.
I’m always open to new collaborations, exciting projects, and meaningful connections.
The B&W treatment on these is really effective. Strips away distraction and puts all the focus on form and texture. The Civil Engineering background actually makes sense given how structured the compositions are.
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I created Book Trace. It is a reading journal app that helps you capture thoughts while you read, and leave a personal trace when you finish.
[Concept]
Book Trace turns the experience of reading into something you can hold onto. Instead of forgetting what a book meant to you, you leave a Trace — one sentence, one emotion, one word. The app also reads what you wrote and tells you what kind of reader you are, with book recommendations matched to your type and genre.
[Project Overview]
For this submission, I designed:
- Onboarding flow;
- Still Reading experience with in-the-moment note capture;
- Finished flow with the full Trace journey;
- Reader Identity system with personalized recommendations;
- Library with saved traces;
- UI Kit and design system.
[Workflow]
I built the full product from concept to prototype in Figma. UI Kit, component library, and interactive flows all in one file.
[My Experience]
What I loved most about this challenge was how it pushed me to think about the full user journey, not just screens, but emotions. Book Trace started as a simple idea and grew into something that feels genuinely personal.
Figma made it possible to move from rough concept to polished prototype without ever leaving the workspace.
Thank you to the Figma team for a challenge that made me build something I actually want to use!

Amazing!
Stationery design is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in how a brand is experienced beyond the screen.
Business cards, letterheads, envelopes, presentation folders—every touchpoint is an opportunity to reinforce identity, communicate professionalism, and create consistency.
These recent stationery explorations focus on translating brand systems into tangible assets that feel cohesive, purposeful, and recognizable across every interaction.
A strong brand doesn't stop at the logo. It lives in every detail.
Looking to elevate your brand with a strategic visual identity system? I'm currently available for branding and identity design projects.
