❋ Let’s make it pop ❋
I’m drawn to bold colors, expressive shapes, unusual characters, and tiny details that make an image feel alive. I love mixing techniques, exploring different visual styles, and finding playful ways to tell a story — whether it’s through a single illustration or a whole animated scene.
Every project has something that makes it special. My job is to find it and turn it into visuals that catch the eye, tell a story, and stick around in people’s minds.
Sometimes it’s a character, a tiny detail, or a color combination that just clicks. I bring these elements together to give every idea its own personality.
❋ The throw — 2×2. Finalist in the Spring 2026 ident competition ❋
Original size 3840x2160
The brief: 2×2 is known for its unconventional humor, bold personality, and offbeat approach to entertainment. The challenge was to translate that spirit into a short animated piece built around the channel’s logo. With only a few seconds to work with, every movement and visual detail had to count — the ident needed to feel like a complete little story while staying true to 2×2’s playful character.
My approach: A tennis match where every shot counts — and one wrong move can mean trouble. I turned the brief into a playful sports gag, building a tiny story around a tennis player, a risky shot, and the possibility of breaking more than just a record.
❋ St. Valentine’s Day at Karmashek.shop ❋
Original size 4032x2268
The brief: To introduce a limited-edition heart-shaped locket released
for Valentine’s Day by Karmashek.shop, an independent jewelry brand by Sofia Avzalova. The goal was to present the new piece as a thoughtful romantic gift while creating a campaign that felt personal, playful, and true to the brand’s whimsical world.
About the brand: Karmashek.shop is an independent jewelry brand by Sofia Avzalova, known for its playful, colorful accessories and distinctive, charming aesthetic. Its visual world called for something equally expressive: sweet, stylish, and full of personality.
My approach: I created a frame-by-frame animated mini-series starring two bead characters in love. Across three short reels, they make handmade gifts for each other, discover the perfect piece of jewelry, and finally go on a romantic date. The heart locket ties the stories together, becoming a natural part of their relationship rather than just a product featured in an ad.
Alongside the animations, I created a set of Valentine’s Day greeting cards to extend the campaign’s visual world beyond video.
