My father was a lifelong shoemaker, crafting custom shoes and tailoring lasts for each client. From a young age, I watched his craftsmanship, absorbing a passion for precision and attention to detail.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">I studied at the Institute of Radioelectronics. Back then, without the internet, I spent hours in libraries diving into literature on development and design. These skills\u2014analyzing and working with technical information\u2014became the foundation of my career.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">Early Steps and Challenges<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">I initially focused on shoe production before dedicating over a decade to crafting shoe lasts. In those early years, with a young family and limited budget, professional equipment was out of reach. I built a mechanical lathe for shaping lasts from makeshift materials\u2014it was imprecise, resembling the quirky &#171;Pepelats&#187; from the film <em>Kin-dza-dza<\/em>. Clients joked about it, but the results surprised them.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Realizing the need for greater accuracy, I dove into 3D modeling. I mastered numerous programs: Rhino 8 and Grasshopper for parametric design, Shoemaster and Lastmaker for lasts, ZBrush for detailing, CorelDRAW for sketches, USM2 for upper modeling, plus EasyLast, Autodesk PowerShape, and dozens of supporting tools.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">Experience and Achievements<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">I worked as a modeler at shoe factories in Ukraine, creating designs for all types of footwear\u2014from classic to athletic. Later, I became a lead engineer at Unisole, heading the department for sole design and construction, and served as a consultant for innovation at Zotti\u2019s last factory. There, I introduced 3D scanning for pattern-making and mechanical last finishing, significantly improving precision and efficiency.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">My Mission Today<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">Today, I offer services to companies that value quality and precision. My approach blends traditional shoemaking craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology\u2014from last design to shoe upper creation. I believe every pair of shoes starts with a perfect last, and I strive to bring clients\u2019 ideas to life with utmost accuracy and care for detail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0ca386 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c0ca386\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dc955c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0dc955c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c4ce06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"0c4ce06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n<html lang=\"ru\">\r\n<head>\r\n    <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\r\n    <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\r\n    <title>\u0410\u0434\u0430\u043f\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043a\u043d\u043e\u043f\u043a\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0445 \u043a\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0438<\/title>\r\n    <style>\r\n        * {\r\n            margin: 0;\r\n            padding: 0;\r\n            box-sizing: border-box;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        body {\r\n            display: flex;\r\n            justify-content: center;\r\n            align-items: center;\r\n            min-height: 100vh;\r\n            background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);\r\n            font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .interactive-image {\r\n            position: relative;\r\n            display: inline-block;\r\n            max-width: 100%;\r\n            border-radius: 20px;\r\n            overflow: hidden;\r\n            box-shadow: 0 25px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .interactive-image img {\r\n            display: block;\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            height: auto;\r\n            pointer-events: none;
