About Me
Originally from Russian and Germany, I chose London as my home and immersed myself in its vibrant creative scene while pursuing a branding master's degree at the UAL. Over the past decade, I've collaborated with diverse agencies, production houses, and start-ups, excelling in developing cohesive visual identities across multiple media channels. Residing in South London with my family, I'm deeply passionate about the creative process and maintain a hands-on approach.
I love connecting brands with people. I have had the pleasure to work with some world known and loved brands within the lifestyle, hospitality, health & beauty, financial, tech, FMCG and entertainment sectors. I approach every brief by immersing myself in my client’s world and then capturing the essence of their brand in a customised visual language. These are just some of my previous clients.
