About Me

 

When I was an art director and user experience designer at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, I worked in teams to design and produce a wide range of printed materials for education, branding, exhibitions, videos, and signage. I art directed many of the highly popular digital projects that have won industry awards, such as the Timeline of Art History, MetCollects, MetPublications, and One Met. Many Worlds.

I studied design and typography at Basel School of Design, and visual communication and art history at Moscow State University of Printing Arts. My in-house professional experience at the Met solidified my passion to design for art institutions, and for several years now, I have worked as an offsite freelance designer for a range of art spaces.

 
 

My Process

Discovery

Design + Refinement

Delivery

An initial conversation to get to know one another, learn about your goals and ideas, and to determine if we are a good match for your project.

I design concepts based on your needs and ideas, and we revise them as needed.

Upon approval, I prepare the final files for implementation and overview the production and installation.

If you are looking to work with an experienced designer — whether you are in New York City or elsewhere — I might be your choice, and I would love to find out what you have in mind. Let’s talk >
