What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining hands-on design and teaching—studio work, print and product design, and opportunities to mentor students and develop educational materials.

I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer, illustrator and ceramist with formal training from Stroganov Academy and practical experience in print, layout and ceramics. I have created visual identities, calendars, merch, advertising layouts and prepared files for print while freelancing and working with agencies.

As an educator I have taught digital art, drawing, painting, composition and design at multiple institutions, led master classes and a summer camp, and developed teaching aids and presentations to support learning. I combine studio practice with classroom instruction to help students build technical and creative skills.

My ceramics practice includes mold-making, casting, finishing and overglaze painting, with exhibited work in national museums and contemporary art festivals. I bring a craft-focused approach to product design and visual storytelling, delivering both handcrafted objects and polished graphic materials.
