Born in Siberia, though that honestly feels like a past life, I now live in a universe filled with creativity, cats, and Reiki healing. I'm an identical twin (yes, our father can't tell us apart), and my sister and I are still inseparable, co-creating, empowering women, and finishing each other’s sentences like it’s a sport. I’m a single mom to the coolest kid and a proud cat mama to three furry chaos agents. When I'm not designing or managing a small domestic zoo, I co-lead transformational coaching experiences, delve into energy work, and run Shamanista Lifestyle with my twin. This soulful clothing brand fuses ancient symbolism, spiritual alignment, and high-vibe design. I’m not religious, but I am spiritual—so expect full moon rituals, drum circles, and maybe a crystal (or ten).​

Professionally, my journey started with a happy accident. I set out to become a video game designer but landed in graphic design thanks to a twist of fate (and college admin bureaucracy). I chose hands-on skills over big-name tuition, and it paid off. I spent over a decade mastering the intricacies of print production, juggling tasks ranging from customer service to press scheduling, and learning how to transform chaos into clean, compelling design. Along the way, I freelanced for restaurants, fashion brands, schools, medical offices, and musicians, building brands, designing digital assets, launching websites, managing social media, and coordinating print production. Today, I bring all that experience into my work as a freelance Creative Director and Project Manager, blending strategic thinking with visual storytelling to craft bold, aligned, high-impact creative across every touchpoint.
