Moving to Florida, USA from Moscow, Russia, when I was 8 years old, I used art as a way to put myself on the map. Not knowing much English at the time, art earned me my friendships and turned into a deep passion that has grown into a never-ending goal of getting better.

Towards the end of earning my Bachelors of Arts in Multimedia: Film, Video & New Media, I was intrigued by the world of 3D and VFX. My journey began in Cologne, Germany at Pixl Visn Media Arts Academy, where I have been trained in the 3D pipeline. With my background in visual arts, it was to no surprise that asset and creature texturing became my specialization. My ink pens and oil paints turned into a color wheel of limitless properties. It has been truly an exciting adventure that I can’t wait to continue as I progress learning new applications, techniques, and tackling new challenges.
