I'm a Swiss Army knife of creativity with 17 years of industry-bending experience under my belt. Starting out as a professional parkour athlete in Russia's first-ever parkour team, I was defying gravity before it was a trend.

In 2006, I jumped into sports photography, but let's face it: those blurry action shots weren't paying the bills. So, I leveraged my retouching skills to bluff my way into a graphic design gig at an ad agency. Knew zilch about design at first, but hey, fake it till you make it, right?

After spending a year navigating the labyrinth of traditional employment, I bid adieu to the corporate world. Fueled by an unyielding desire for growth, I plunged into action sports cinematography and unleashed my first truly viral video.

Embarking on a solo journey, I flexed my entrepreneurial muscles. I produced a feature film, launched my own production house delivering standout projects for big-time clients, and beefed up my skillset with directing and 3D animation. Now, I'm beginning to channel my passion towards the realm of video game design...

Today, I'm a master chef of a kaleidoscopic skill set, laser-focused on pioneering in 3D animation and Directing.
I'm at the helm of innovative creative crews, diving into AI tech, and making waves in the VR gaming universe.

    EXPerience
    My creative journey has been long and my experience vast – so much so that some employers might say I'm 'overqualified' for just any gig. That's why I don't clock in for someone else; I run my own show, building companies and collaborating with brands, rather than working for them. But hey, don't justtake my word for it – let's dive into my portfolio and let the work speaks for itself.
    As an entrepreneur and producer in the creative industry, I've spent years managing artists, negotiating with clients, and crafting thousands of pitch presentations. I've taken the stage at numerous forums and conferences, constantly elevating my soft skills. Yet, throughout my career, I've never stopped refining my craft as an artist and director, staying ahead with the latest technologies, devices, and software.
