About me

·Adobe After Effects · Cinema 4D · Unreal Engine · Blender · Procreate

Motion designer with 12 years of experience in visual storytelling across animation, commercial media, and interactive exhibitions. I’ve art-directed graphics for advertising, film, and large-scale events — including the United Nations Summit in Saudi Arabia — and collaborated with brands like Microsoft, Pepsi, Aramco, Istanbul City Hall, Kaspersky, Beeline, Megafon, Moscow Transport, Tinkoff and Sber.

I’ve taught motion design at platforms like Yandex.Practicum, Geekbrains, Skillbox, and Skillfactory.

For over 7 years, I’ve also co-led educational film camps where we teach children animation — and now, AI tools.

Heart's Tale

an independent animated project created over the course of two years by a team of fifteen artists.
Based on the book by my friend and director Max Maze, the trailer was a deep visual exploration.
As the art director, I aimed to craft a rich and unique world using a full range of visual tools — from classical painting techniques to procedural graphics. The project was featured by Motionographer, one of the leading global media platforms dedicated to digital art and animation.

Role: Art-director, 2D/3D animator, Compositer

Laundry Hangover

experimental animated short film inspired by a real-life, oddly dramatic moment. One day at the laundromat, I exchanged all my cash for coins — only to realize I was exactly one coin short of starting the dryer. Instead of solving the problem, I saw a perfect setup for a story and turned it into a film. I used photogrammetry to build 3D environments and brought the character to life through traditional frame-by-frame animation.
