SUMMARY

I am a creative and detail-oriented 2D artist with an academic art education and hands-on
experience in the full lifecycle of game assets, from concept to final rendering.
I have extensive experience working on 2D point-and-click adventure games from early
development to release, primarily as an environment artist. I have skills in environment
concept, character concept, and props in casual, semi-casual, stylization, and realistic.

Open to new opportunities with creative challenges and potential for professional and
personal growth. Also interested in a lead artist role, now or in the future.
I am considering remote collaboration or working in the Odesa office
(provided that you employ my cat as well - she insists).
