From 2016 to 2026 i worked in a design bureau that evolved from an in-house team into an independent studio, expanding into spatial design and AI-driven production.
(Bureau Publica (formerly Weeee Studio, SM Group, Cross Studio)).
Over 10 years, I grew alongside the company from Junior Designer to Co-Founder and Design Lead, taking a key role in shaping its development, positioning, and creative direction.
I was directly involved in the studio’s transformation — from a graphic design focus to delivering integrated solutions across branding and spatial design.
Key contributions:

Interests
Design and more
I’m driven by curiosity beyond design: from creating physical products to exploring new creative formats.
I’ve launched independent projects, including a modular plywood furniture brand "Funera" (2019) and a clothing & accessories brand "Bestia" (2023), where I developed concepts and led production by coordinating and directing external specialists.
I enjoy building things through people, assembling the right experts, shaping direction, and overseeing execution across disciplines.
Outside of work, I recharge through nature, long walks, and alpine skiing. I also stay energized through regular fitness, love the deep relaxation of a Russian banya, and never miss a chance to swim in the sea. I also have a background in music, I play piano and enjoy singing, although these days my keyboard is more often digital than acoustic.
