Neznanie magazine
Cover design + illustrations

Over the past few years I’ve been designing covers for an independent literary magazine ‘Neznanie’. The latest issue (below), dedicated to the topic of inheritance, was fully illustrated by me.

The pink cover was made as a collage from scans, stock images and lettering. The illustration on the right is done by me.











Onion Skins
A personal zine
‘Onion Skins’ is a personal project based on memories and reflections on childhood, family, loss, identity 
and belonging.

While working on the project I’ve been posting my thoughts, process and research on a dedicated blog. Upon completion I’ve designed a website showcasing my process + research, which can be viewed in full here.

Junkle
Mascot, logo + menu design
for a street food truck
I’ve designed a mascot, logo and menu for a street food truck in Moscow. The logo and mascot were across different printed deliverables at festivals and food markets.  










GES-2
A set of illustrated stickers
I designed and illustrated a sticker pack for GES-2, a cultural institution and urban space, as a part of their summer mediation school course for teenagers.

I’ve prepared the file for print and created cut lines.
