Biography                        Born in 1997 in Naberezhnye Chelny, Republic Tatarstan. Moved to Kyiv, Ukraine 
as a child, where I grew up immersed in local culture. Studied art from an early age, completing 
six years at art school. Later I earned a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and Computer Graphics, defending a thesis on territorial branding systems
Career Began my professional journey in 2017 with an internship at 1+1 Media (Ukraine's leading TV channel). Worked at several Kyiv advertising agencies before Russia's full-scale invasion, most notably at Once Agency (branding, marketing, and web design).

Parallel to agency work, developed an independent practice—creating brand identities, packaging, websites, and presentations. Some projects were pro bono initiatives supporting Ukrainian culture.
Approach  I combine functionality with aesthetics, building comprehensive design systems beyond standard solutions. Experiment with typography, 3D graphics, and product photography to find unique approaches for each project.

My life is a continuous creative process—collecting vintage typography books, posters, vinyl records, and industrial design objects for inspiration.
