My path to graphic design began in my childhood, once I became extremely interested in drawing and painting. At the beginning, my creative activity was based on pencil drawing and oil painting. Some of my artworks are located on my artistic portfolio:

In 2002, I discovered Photoshop, fell in love, and taught myself. Very soon I started designing for web and concentrated on website design. A little bit later, I also learned Flash and HTML and after that, began to create and maintain websites (including personal projects), which I still continue today.

In 2006, I began my studies of Visual Communication and have started combining, with web design, also creation for print.

During the recent years, I participate in the Microstock industry, mainly in the digital photography field. You can see my photo work on my iStockphoto portfolio.

I always aim to learn new things, to analyze every detail, to research each case, to improve existing and to be interested and involved in related fields, such as photography, programming and others.

In addition to all above, I completed my certificate in marketing and base my work, first of all, on the real clients' needs. I believe that design should not be only "aesthetic", it must be also effective and productive.

My birthplace is Russian Federation and I live these days in Canada.

I speak, read and write in: English, Russian, and Hebrew.
