Hi, I’m Polina Stepanova, a Brand & Motion Designer with 5+ years of experience building visual identities and bringing them to life through motion. I specialise in brand strategy, identity systems, and design languages that hold together across every touchpoint — from logo and guidelines to animated assets and video. I’m currently freelancing and open to full-time opportunities. I’ve collaborated with global teams and brands, including SAP and the Humanising Business Network, developing visual language, modular logo systems, motion assets, and design systems. I value human-centred, calm design and enjoy mentoring others while delivering cohesive brand experiences across digital and print channels.
