In my childhood, I used to draw flipbooks in my school notebooks. I hold a Bc. and CSc. in Information Systems in Economics. I am a graduate of Sergey Maximishin’s photojournalism course at the Moscow School of Visual Arts. Since 2013, I have been actively involved in creating a wide variety of video content. Since then, I have shot and edited countless interviews, commercials, corporate videos, and theater production trailers. I have a passion for stop motion.
