I am a Georgian multimedia artist and graphic designer based in Valencia, Spain. After studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and Arts University Bournemouth in England, I returned to Georgia and focused on graphic design, illustration, and production design. I worked as a designer and art director for film and television, including as a broadcast designer at the Georgian Public Broadcaster, where I created visual identities and on-air graphics for various programs. Alongside this, I ran my own studio, Workroom #6, teaching drawing and visual storytelling. In 2025, I moved to Valencia to continue my studies at Barreira Arte + Diseño and to further develop my design practice.
