My background spans a fusion of 10+ years in Marketing Communications and 6+ years in Product Design.

In the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing brands like Google, Microsoft, BMW, Nivea, Abbott, and Nestle across diverse markets: Germany, US, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, etc.

As a Digital Director and Creative&Strategy Director in digital agencies Grape, Pichesky, and Northseaduck in Ukraine and Russia, and then working remotely for a variety of projects across Europe I contributed to projects ranged from SMM and digital campaigns to AR/VR and AI-driven solutions. I am proud of being part of over 100 successful marketing and design projects across telecoms, automotive, banking, retail, and other sectors. My expertise covers the end-to-end marketing campaigns creation and supervision, agencies coordination, UX/UI, product design, and marketing media production.

In addition to my agency roles, I co-founded Northseaduck digital agency and Promoone, a data-driven SaaS platform aimed at enhancing promotional campaigns and customer retention.
