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 art and in the past 7 years I’ve been developing my draughtsmanship, grasp of animation principles and cinematography skillset via short courses and personal projects.

“I Asked My Daddy Once” is a book I self-published in 2019. It is a one child’s journey out of the comfort zone and into a world full of wonders, where enough joy and beauty exist to shine through the darkest of times.
