Dream. Science. Aerospace. Motorcycle. Art. Travel. Films. YES_MOON. Where is the design? Everywhere.
So, I'm Vika — Creative and Visual Designer with an engineering background. I love everything that has to do with product & visual design, mobile & web projects as well as branding, typography, design for screen and print, and conceptualization. From the age of 15, I was already enthusiastically picking with my finger a full-size model of the Mir space station, and I have been passionately researching design for over 15 years like a person who is falling in love with the profession. Each new project is a challenge, a new problem-solving task, real business cases, different techniques and practice new skills. I know how to help clients by using design thinking.
Any medium is acceptable, any ideas may be produced.
