Books have always been my quiet companions and teachers. From age four I knew I would be a book designer, watching my father—an acclaimed Ukrainian book artist—at work. I designed my first cover at fourteen, and today I have designed about 1500 books, ranging from art albums to school textbooks. I specialize in graphic design for book products, text editing, typography, and both hand-drawn and digital illustration. I lead design teams, collaborate with writers, editors, photographers, and printers to deliver high-quality books, and I stay current with printing technologies and trends. I also enjoy sharing experiences at major book exhibitions in Frankfurt, London, Bologna, Warsaw, and Kyiv.
