Hey! It’s me

Originally from Tallinn, Estonia, I come from a family of tech engineers (railway & industrial construction). Although I studied cross-culture communications and romance languages in Saint-Petersburg, I never worked in linguistics, but it helped me a lot in my design career.

In 2005, I started my first job as a graphic and packaging designer in federal wholesale company (hand and power tools for professional and household use). During my 8+ years there, I successfully created over 100 packaging and publishing projects. Then, I worked as a graphic designer at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, creating various in- and outdoor materials, printing stuff, illustrations.

Since 2014, I've been actively involved in an IT sphere - creating design systems, ERP systems, Web-ordering, B2C web apps, websites and digital illustrations using Figma. I successfully worked as a UI/UX designer, creating digital solutions for Siemens AG, Tassta GmbH, Alcon, Essilor, CooperVision, to name a few.

When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me on a padel court, behind a cue at billiards, or on my bike. I'm big into electronic music — raves are a regular thing, craft beer bars a calmer alternative. I cook a lot, and I'm completely powerless against cats.
