Meet the Person behind Ink & Pixels
Web Developper | Colouring Books & Journals Creator
I’m Lina — a web developer and digital creator with a passion for building meaningful online experiences. As an interpreter, educator, and author, I bring over a decade of experience in blending education, design, and creativity rooted in personal growth.
This philosophy guides my approach to design, writing, and photography.
My Creative Journey
I’ve taken the scenic route — spanning languages, continents, industries, and ideas.
It started with a deep appreciation for linguistic diversity and European culture, studied in depth and carried into the travel industry, where I supported international clients with grace and professionalism. Later, a shift toward technology drew me back into academia to study Computer Science, unlocking new ways to build, solve, and express creatively through code.
Teaching abroad offered new perspectives — blending language, empathy, and cultural nuance. That chapter shaped the educator in me, and eventually led to roles supporting learners and communities through teaching, mentoring, and advising.
Today, I channel this mosaic of experiences into creative publishing, web design for purpose-driven charities, and interpreting — each role reflecting the intersection of compassion, precision, and design.
Ink & Pixels is the culmination of this journey: a space where technical skill meets emotional depth, and where every pixel is placed with meaning.
My Approach
My Approach
My work is shaped by three guiding principles that infuse every project with depth and care.
Mindfulness in Design
I design with intention — ensuring every detail not only looks good, but feels right and supports meaningful interaction.
Storytelling with Purpose
Whether through visuals, language, or layout, I craft narratives that resonate deeply, connect authentically, and reflect lived experience.
Continual Growth
Each project is an invitation to evolve. I stay curious and committed to learning, refining my skills to better serve creative and social impact.
