Bio

My early interest in art and design began a while ago – drawings on the walls of my home eventually grew into paintings on canvas and a deep interest in fine and applied arts. In 1990 I graduated from Academy of Arts in Lviv, Ukraine with a BA degree in Commercial Arts. Exposure to graphic design opened an opportunity to apply analytical abilities to my interest in fine art. 


In 1999 I graduated from CSU Fresno with a MA degree in Art with an option in Graphic Design. I turned my dream into a full time job as a graphic artist. I'm still interested in fine arts and photography; both have become my hobbies. As a designer I would like to further develop clear visual, communicative, and organizational skills.


A nature of design draws to mind a wide range of subjects and problems, and the challenge to create solutions. It's been this opportunity to satisfy personal interests while helping others to reach their goals that made graphic design my long-term career choice. 



Personal Interests

My personal interests change every two years on average. A Few of them (to my amazement) stayed longer. Those are photography, Apple computers (I use and "collect" them since 1995), and archery. At first, while looking at people who collect the same kind of items throughout their entire life, I was worried that I'm somewhat unstable because I dind't follow suit. Then, I realized that I just like to learn and experience new things in life, and that's to the better. I'm always looking forward to improvement and growth in my personal and professional life.
