About

I am graphic designer and visual artist with strong conceptual background, and over 20 years of working experience on complex projects from scratch. My work ranges from web & mobile app interfaces to graphic design and branding.

Recent production is focused on integrated design solutions that merge Iconography and UI/UX Design, Concept Development and Data Visualization. The understanding of front-end development technologies enabled me to architect information via clean and easy-to-use way that balance between the artistry and functionality-driven decisions.
