Bio and work experience:

My first professional work experience took place during my Bachelor studies.

For Katy, the Bachelor’s project directed, art directed, designed and animated by myself was the 3rd place 2D winner of the 7th Toronto International Student Animation Festival and was screened on 16 International Film Festivals.

​

I started working as a freelance animator while continuing my postgraduate education in animation at Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London. During my postgraduate studies I perfected my skills in traditional 2D, digital and 3D animation, film language, acting, drawing and more.

​

During the studies I was involved in creation of a short animated film The Planning Game. The film was screened at Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in the UK Pavilion in China in 2014. The film became a Semifinalist at Adobe Design Achievement Awards.

For several years, I have lived in Vienna, where I work as a freelance artist and cooperate with creative agencies.
