Portfolio of web designer and front-end developer Cristiana Bardeanu
I’m Cristiana Bardeanu, a freelance web designer and occasional painter and photographer, currently living in Amsterdam. This site is a showcase of all my creative work. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm 26 years old and I've been working as a freelancer for the past 6 years, during which I've had the pleasure of collaborating with people from all over the world (Alaska, Hawaii, China, South Africa, Australia, Germany, UK, Italy...)
While I have successfully worked on large projects for companies like Ford or DefJam Records, I mostly enjoy working on small to medium-sized websites.
About my paintings... I started
painting and drawing when I was very young, but never
had any real formal training in this (although I
intend to, at some point). So I just bought some
books, read some articles on the internet and of
course had lots and lots of practice.
I don't really plan to sell my paintings, I just want to give them away to friends and family or to people who'd enjoy having them. You can view some of my paintings here.
In my free time I enjoy biking around Amsterdam, having a beer in the
sunny terraces along the canals, reading old detective books, watching
a good movie, playing tennis, cooking, taking care of
my flowers... and other boring stuff like that :)
I currently live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands with my lovely husband Eric and our two crazy cats Pisu and Kiki.
