Chief Editorial Officer, Built&Written
Hi, I'm Khrystyna, a copywriter from Ukraine with over three years of experience in content creation.
My journey into content started in front of the camera. I appeared in videos, worked in online sales, and quickly became curious about everything happening behind the scenes. Before long, I was learning how to film, edit videos, write copy, and create content that connects with people.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work on different projects, and each one taught me something new. Today, I combine those experiences to write practical, well-researched articles that help readers find clear answers and useful insights.
I hope the articles you read here give you something valuable to take away, whether it's a new idea, a practical solution, or simply a different perspective.
