Work Experience

Principal Motion Designer / Animator at Banano Animation Studio (formerly BlackMambaProd)

August 1, 2015 - January 1, 2016

Led and delivered 200+ projects across product launches, brand systems, campaigns, and executive presentations for global clients. Defined motion language, visual systems, and storytelling approaches that made complex ideas clear, consistent, and scalable across platforms. Worked directly with founders, marketing leaders, and creative stakeholders, often stepping in where direction was unclear and turning ambiguity into concrete solutions. Took full ownership of projects end to end—concepting, direction, execution, and final polish—making fast, confident decisions under real-world constraints. Built reusable systems, templates, and workflows that increased speed without compromising quality.

Senior Motion Designer & Animator at Yandex

January 1, 2018 - February 1, 2022

Designed motion and interaction behavior for products used at scale, operating within established design systems, brand standards, and technical constraints. Focused on clarity, hierarchy, and usability in motion, improving how users understood and navigated complex interfaces. Created animations, Lottie assets, and motion prototypes integrated into web, mobile, and internal product platforms. Collaborated closely with product designers, engineers, and product managers to ensure motion was feasible, performant, and aligned with product intent. Worked within fast release cycles, balancing creative quality with consistency, accessibility, and performance requirements.

2D Animator – Remote at Sberbank

May 1, 2016 - August 1, 2017

Created motion graphics and explainers for internal and customer-facing communication within a large, regulated financial organization. Produced clear, structured motion content for internal training, product explainers, and mobile communications. Improved viewer retention and comprehension through tighter pacing, simplified visuals, and more deliberate animation choices. Streamlined production by introducing lightweight automation and scripting to reduce turnaround time. Worked within strict brand, accessibility, and consistency standards typical of finance-sector content.
