I’m a designer and illustrator focused on advertising, branding and visual communication. I’ve collaborated with major brands such as Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Lenta, MTS and Sberbank, shaping concepts, campaigns and packaging design. In 2016 I completed an illustration programme at the British Higher School of Design in Moscow. Since then I’ve worked with tech companies like Yandex and Megafon, publishers and illustration agencies, leading creative teams, presenting ideas, and blending traditional visuals with digital tools to solve real-world brand challenges.
