About me

I am of Russian-Ukrainian heritage and I started my creative journey in fine art. Whilst my focus has shifted to the field of design, my affinity for cross-disciplinary methodologies that combine physical and digital mediums continue to permeate my work. This tendency to continuously experiment and learn new skills is what drove me to study Creative Direction for Fashion. Although I never expected to be in the fashion sphere, I chose this course as it allowed me to develop well-informed, problem-solving concepts through a variety of research methods; which I could then apply to a design solution that strives to make a difference. This empathetic lens is what inspires me to explore concepts that are rooted in their benefit to the people and the planet. My second passion in life is science, which presents itself through not only the use of organic forms and textures, but also through my concepts, which often explore material innovations. Furthermore, I believe my interest in this field is what encouraged me to undertake the additional Creative Computing diploma that allowed me to push my skills further through coding, physical computing and artificial intelligence.

Projects

• Genesis | Simone RochaAn art direction scheme which introduces the brand to non-toxic dyeing techniques and creates a new immersive touchpoint for the audience to explore (with visual references to Victorian mourning customs).
• Sensescape | Liberty LondonSince graduating I've had the opportunity to improve my skills in Blender and Adobe Creative Suite by reworking previous university projects in order to better visualise my concepts. These can now be viewed on my creative account: https://lnkd.in/epG4d2mZ
• Vinterior | Self-Directed ProjectCoding in Javascript for the first time in about 6 months. I used this self-directed project to create a header design for Vinterior which creates a random composition every time the page reloads.
