I’m Eglė, a founder and visual designer at Ostre, a small creative studio based in Vilnius, Lithuania. I work in close collaboration with Senior Product Designer Matija Vojvodic to deliver projects that combine expressive visual design, strategic UX thinking, and scalable product solutions. With two Master’s degrees in Product Design and Lighting Design, I bring both artistic depth and technical precision to branding, visual identity, illustration, and storytelling. My academic research was published at The International Scientific Conference of the Color, reflecting my dedication to design theory and practice. In the creative industry, I’ve worked as a Photoshop artist and animator on The Peasants — an Oscar-nominated, hand-painted animated feature — bringing fine art to life frame by frame. At Ostre, I lead art direction, brand strategy, and marketing visuals, while Matija contributes UX architecture, product strategy, and design system expertise. This dual-discipline approach allows us to craft work that is not only visually striking but also deeply aligned with business goals.
