Story Portfolio
Hello, and thank you for coming to this page. I graduated with a BA in Photojournalism (distinction) from Moscow State University, which gave me a deep understanding of visual language and storytelling fundamentals. After a decade in marketing and journalism, I focused on animation and now tell stories that would inspire people to live their lives with hope and meaning.

“Whatever Works” © 2025
“Whatever Works” is a very short comedy film about the mental rollercoaster of parenthood. In the age of polished social media which pressures us into a constant state of feeling wrong, this film aims to deliver a message of just being ok as we are. This is a deeply personal project, created by a mother while juggling work and taking care of a young child.
