About me

I am a product designer and a creative person. One of my passions is watercolour painting. I enjoy the fact that watercolours can both be controlled and be allowed to run, splash and mix. This gives me an opportunity of keeping certain areas of the artwork tightly composed, while at the same time the other parts of the work can be loosen up at any time, making the process of painting both unpredictable and rewarding. I try to use vibrant colours and lively brushwork with splatters, splashes and dribbles to breathe new life into my watercolours.

Also, I have experience of developing design projects for industry. I worked as a graphic designer at the Design studio "FUTURA PRINT", Ukraine, that helped me to develop ability to meet strict deadlines and create solutions in accordance with customer requirements. During my undergraduate I had two internships at the Design Society of Ukraine and at the Design Bureau of G. Leshuk as a graphic designer. Currently I work as a voluntary graphic designer at the charity Cerebral Palsy Midlands, UK. I am skilled in creative thinking, hand sketching, and in multiple 2D and 3D CAD platforms, design concept development and implementation. I continue to expand my skills and knowledge through continued practice, professional development and determination to stay current by engaging with the larger design community.
