HELLO!

Sr. Experiential Designer and Art Director from Moscow, Russia based in New York City. Currently exploring bold ideas and providing problem-solving, immersive, and impactful brand experiences both locally and globally.

I have an Architectural background, with a BFA in Architectural Design from Parsons the New School, and UX UI training from NYU. Over the last few years, I've combined the two disciplines to create meaningful spatial experiences, design 3D visual brand strategy playbooks, and structure the visual presence of brands like PepsiCo in iconic landmarks such as Madison Square Garden, High Roller, and Hershey Park.

My work ranges from temporary brand activations to immersive long-term experiences and permanent build brand positionings. I work with brands from the concept stages to the final execution which includes both fabrication and installation.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with agencies and brands, some of which include; PepsiCo, Samsung, Madison Square Garden, Hershey Park, 29Rooms, POPSUGAR Playground, W Hotels, and more.

Additionally, my prior architectural experiences include working with Bjarke Ingels Group. I'm passionate about the process of design experimentation, and outside-the-box thinking and seek to take on challenges that combine technological advancements and spatial design solutions.

Resume is available upon request.
