What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative game-studio role where I create polished 2D art and assets for animation, grow in concept and marketing art, and work with cross-functional teams.

I am a 2D artist with over six years of experience creating characters, UI, backgrounds and marketing art for games and video creatives. I focus on producing polished assets ready for animation and reuse, working closely with animators and cross-functional teams.

At Playrix I contributed art for Homescapes and Gardenscapes, preparing art for animation and building assets for reuse that supported video creatives. Previously, I worked on in-house game projects drawing characters, UI elements and backgrounds.

I studied Design and Visual Communications at Vitebsk State University and have completed targeted courses in concept art, sketching and form, After Effects animation, and Stable Diffusion for artists to expand both traditional and generative workflows.

I am collaborative, deadline-driven, and passionate about visual storytelling, continually improving my pipeline with tools like Photoshop, Blender and AI-assisted techniques to deliver high-quality, production-ready 2D art.
