I've been doing this for over ten years — web, visual, print, agencies, startups, a lot of freelance in between. Somewhere along the way, the label "full-stack designer" started fitting: I work across graphic design, web, UI/UX, and, more recently, AI-assisted workflows, and I actually enjoy moving between all of it.
I grew up in Russia and came to design through an unexpected path - I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, which probably explains why I get weirdly interested in the structural side of things. How a system holds together, why a layout feels off, what's actually causing a UX problem. Design and logic aren't opposites to me: they've always felt like the same impulse.
My philosophy is pretty simple: I'd rather solve the right problem well than make something that just looks good on a portfolio. I care about the work being useful, coherent, and honest — and I'm always trying to get better at it
