About me

I am a Moscow-born designer-illustrator-author based in South-East London. I have degrees in English Literature (University of Manchester) and Illustration (Camberwell College of Arts), as well as 5 years’ experience working in the advertising industry. I have illustrated (and written) album covers, picture books, packaging designs, posters, wedding stationary, storyboards, greeting cards, animation assets and commission portraits (pets/people). My style is painterly, based in traditional media and often focusses on the natural world. I’m all about tangible textures, intricate detail and dynamic brush strokes.
