I'm Ivan Mishin, a graphic designer specializing in brand identity and art direction for cultural and creative industries — music, arts, hospitality, and brands that live in real spaces. With seven years of experience across freelance, internships, and in-house roles, I’ve crafted visual identities, campaigns, and environments that show up in the world with a strong sense of place and purpose. I apply a conceptual approach to every project, moving between bold and expressive or quiet and considered depending on what the work calls for. Design, to me, is about bringing genuine joy into people’s lives, and that means getting both the feeling and the function right.
