my dad had just died, and design was how i kept my hands busy. youtube tutorials — technical, no taste yet. taste came through the work. then four years at a design college in Kyiv, most of it spent in print shops: pre-press, production, how things actually get made.

own projects on the side — most of my regular clients come from back then. university lasted half a year. good if you’re still figuring it out — i wasn’t. so i left and kept building.

small jobs turned into state and international projects, some as art director. then graphic design started to feel like one step, not the whole staircase — so i turned toward interfaces. that’s where i am now. more to come.
