From a young age, I've had a huge passion for painting. But influenced by my family, I started studying traditional musical instruments from elementary school and eventually attended a professional art school for six years. After high school, I realized that path wasn't quite right for me. So at 20, armed with just a month of Russian under my belt, I ventured alone to Russia, the land of art, seeking further education. Lacking a foundation in painting, I opted to study at St. Petersburg State University of Film and Television to become an animation director. This experience opened up a whole new world for me: I started creating animations using computer software and telling stories through cinematography. My years of studying music also added unique flavors to my work, as music and sound are crucial in films.

​

After graduating, I moved to Canada and chose graphic design as my major, which naturally led me down the path of design. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to integrating various visual art forms like illustration and animation into my design work, bringing vitality and emotional depth to it.

​

Now settled in Toronto, I believe as a designer that design does more than convey information—it can also evoke emotions and connect people. Whether it's branding, typography, or editorial design, I continuously seek ways to break new ground and innovate, hoping to tell more moving stories through my designs.
