Entrepreneur, marketing and AI lecturer, and founder of HexaTech Technology Group. Vitalij is CEO of FDS Cards and co-founder of First Design Studio and Malta Houses. His work connects building businesses with the design and technology that support them.
Teaching draws on that working experience: understanding an audience, shaping a useful offer, designing the customer journey and choosing tools with a purpose. Sessions follow your questions and your pace, with practical exercises and time to review the result.

See the thinking.
Then try the tools.
Original demonstrations from our learning programme. Follow a brief, inspect the result and bring your own question to a session. Tool interfaces change; the habit of reviewing the output stays useful.
01Content / ChatGPTFrom a brief to a LinkedIn post1:00
What to look for
- The recording opens ChatGPT and sets up a content request.
- The example develops a LinkedIn post and an image from the brief.
- Review the message, factual claims and visual before publishing anything from your own exercise.
02Websites / AI-assisted developmentBuild the first version of a page1:13
What to look for
- The screen recording begins with a website brief in ChatGPT.
- Generated page code is used to explore a first website design.
- A first preview is a starting point: check the content, mobile layout, links and form behaviour before launch.
03Business tools / BoltTurn a CRM idea into a prototype1:36
What to look for
- The brief asks Bolt for lead storage, status tracking and a dashboard with business statistics.
- The recording follows the generation and preview of the interface.
- Treat the result as a prototype. Real customer data needs appropriate access controls, testing and a separate production setup.
