About me

Hi, I'm Anastasia Beltyukova—an integrated Creative & Art Director, Senior Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Animation Director with over 20 years of experience (yes, time flies when you're having fun) and more than 30 industry awards. I don't just create visuals; I craft ideas, concepts, and stories that bring brands to life across all touchpoints—whether it's digital, print, motion, or something in between. My work is all about connecting people to brands in ways that feel engaging, authentic, and sometimes a bit whimsical.

I've had the joy (and occasional chaos) of working with brands like CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, P&G, NHS, Babylon Health, Migration Museum, The National Lottery, and more. My work has been featured in Steven Heller's Illustration Idea Book: Inspiration from 50 Masters (no pressure there), Adam Osgood's Motion Illustration Book, and five volumes of LogoLounge Master Library books!

Strategic, conceptual, and a bit obsessed with stories, I find my happy place at the crossroads of advertising, design, and art. I also mentor early-career illustrators, helping them navigate the industry with minimal tears.
