About

Born and raised in a small Siberian mining town, where for a whole month in winter the temperature stays around 42 below.

Sport, swimming, martial arts, ballroom dancing and art school — my parents made sure I tried everything. It stuck. My interests run from chemistry and engineering to photography and new media.

I studied directing for visual arts and photography in Kemerovo and art direction at the British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow. I ran a video studio in Moscow — TV commercials, music videos, visual effects — for clients such as Leo Burnett, Microsoft, Sberbank, Total and IKEA. Since 2015 I have lived in Santiago de Chile.

I also know my way around a 10 kW electric machine and a locksmith's bench, which comes in handy more often than you would think.
