I'm a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in the UK, originally from Siberia. I have a playful, cheeky and witty style suitable for young or old. My favourite drawing subjects are animals, nature, sports, food, everyday life. Over the past 20 years I worked on a variety of projects ranging from editorials to charity campaigns. For ten of those I was an art director, designer and illustrator at The Day (theday.co.uk), an educational news service for schools. Now I'm developing my own illustration practice and looking for new opportunities. My other interests include rock climbing, sustainability, human and animal rights, baking, travelling and learning languages.
