Portfolio

Cover Letter

Salut! I have significant experience in design and animation. I have solid skills in Adobe CC, PP, Figma and good expertise in design principles. I have good knowledge of the Web and UX. I love infographics and presentations. I usually delight clients and colleagues with my creativity, sense of aesthetics, balanced perfectionism, responsibility and competence. I have a special interest in science and education.

In recent years I worked as an art-lead in an international studio. We created the coolest promos for pharmaceutical companies. I started my work with research and deep dive into the topic. I used to gather resources, draw sketches, and develop visual concepts. I supervised the work of my team, communicated with clients, held briеfings and kept a check on results.

Before my studio work, I worked as a multidisciplinary designer freelance. And now I’m searching for new experiences and challenges, open to different collaborations and will be thrilled to join your team with determination to achieve new goals together. ✨
