Hi there!  I’m a CSM Graphics graduate and a Siberian multidisciplinary artist based in London, UK.
I work mainly within the realms of illustration, photography, printmaking and experiential design, but I like to stick my hands in whatever medium strikes my fancy.


A creative and curious person who always looks for opportunities to problem solve and learn. Uses all my key skills in delivering the highest quality of my work. Enthusiastic team player as well as being self-motivated in delivering independent projects. A hands-on quick learner who likes to bring my creative skills to any workspace. While my main interests are in the creative industries, I am always open to any new opportunities that could broaden my horizons and develop my transferable skills.
