Designer at Warner Bros. Discovery​
I have experience designing for some of the biggest entertainment advertising agencies as well as creating original illustrations for journalistic and media giant, NBCUniversal. As a freelancer, I've been commissioned to create designs for films recognized by the Academy and BAFTA. Currently working as a staff off-air designer for Warner Bros. Discovery.
about
After 14 years of formal art courses, I have a wide range of skills in traditional and digital mediums.
In my digital work, I draw inspiration from analog printmaking styles and techniques and try to push creative boundaries with each project I work on.​ For fun I like to do documentary and street photography, read, and spend time in nature.
​
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and grew up in the DC metro area. I explore themes of nostalgia and identity in my personal work, and I don't shy away from sensitive or "taboo" topics.
