About
I am a graphic designer based in Saint Petersburg (Russia). My main specialization is the creation of brand development, visual identity design and corporate communication. Together with the clients we solve the tasks, bring clarity to brands and form long term business relationships with each other.

In addition to projects of creating visual identity, I enjoy participating in experimental creative projects & collaborations, especially which are related to art: design of exhibition spaces, layout of posters, catalogs and advertising materials for exhibitions.

I like to listen, question, research and explore.
