Visual Identity for Charity Event
REPOWER

Developed branding for a Ukrainian charity event in
Stockholm.

The concept focused on presenting contemporary
Ukrainian culture in an international context.
The visual system combines typographic tension
and photographic minimalism to create a refined yet
emotionally charged presence.
 Festivals / Events
Festival Branding System in collaboration with LEVIN agency
LEVIN / UKRAINOCHKA

Designed the visual identity for a cultural festival dedicated to Ivana
Kupala traditions.

Instead of decorative folklore aesthetics, I chose to work with reduction —
ritual symbols simplified into graphic forms.
The final system integrates ritual symbolism, graphic reduction and bold
color contrasts to bridge tradition and contemporary design language.

Implemented across posters, social media, environmental graphics and
printed materials.
UKRAINIAN CUISINE DAYS

Developed the visual identity for Ukrainian Cuisine Days — a cultural event presenting traditional
Ukrainian gastronomy in a contemporary context.

The main task was to avoid stereotypical folk imagery and instead create a clean, modern system
that still carried a sense of authenticity. I worked with restrained typography, warm color accents and
structured layouts to reflect both heritage and hospitality.

The visual identity was implemented across posters, social media visuals and event materials, ensuring
consistency across formats.
 Slovozbroya
Typography as a public statement
SLOVOZBROYA

A public typographic project created as a reflection
on war and cultural resistance.
Displayed in front of the Russian embassy in Tallinn.

The work explores the role of language as a form
of protection, identity and collective memory.
Work with Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia
Institutional Visual Communication
Commissioned Cultural & Official Materials
EMBASSY PROJECT

Design of official printed materials for
the Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia .

These projects required balance:
institutional clarity, national
symbolism and formal tone.
Precision and typography were
central in maintaining that balance.
SHEVCHENKO
Commissioned by the Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia

A poster series created in collaboration
with the Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia to
mark the anniversary of Taras Shevchenko.

The posters balance institutional context
with artistic expression, maintaining both
dignity and visual impact.
 Poster Design
Visual thinking through symbols
IT WAS. IT IS. IT WILL.
Typographic Poster Series

A typographic series exploring
national identity and symbolic
continuity.

One of the posters received an
award at the Pangram 2022
International Typography and
Calligraphy Competition.

The project demonstrates how
minimal visual tools — type,
contrast and structure — can
carry strong cultural meaning.
WOMAN

A graphic work addressing women’s visibility and rights.

The composition relies on scale and contrast rather than
complexity.
The message had to remain clear even without additional
explanation.
Book design
A TALE ABOUT A VIBURNUM PIPE

Designed the cover and layout for a literary
work published by Komora.

The visual system combines texture-based
minimalism and structured typography.
SAME RIVER. TWICE: Putin’s War on Women

Cover design for a non-fiction political essay.

Published by Komora.
The project demonstrates my experience working with complex
literary and political themes through disciplined typographic
composition.
OUR EUROPE

Cover design for a collection of essays by Oksana
Zabuzhko.

The concept reflects the intellectual dialogue between
Ukraine and Europe through symbolic abstraction and
restrained composition.

Published by Komora.
TRIBE OF WAR

Cover design for a book exploring war and collective
identity.

The concept reflects a community shaped by conflict —
fragile yet resilient.
The visual language uses restrained form and tension to
express vulnerability and strength.
Logo / Lettering
Selected Works

Postcards

A series of postcards for the

between strength and
fragility in contemporary
