About me
Biography
I’m a creative producer and media manager working at the intersection of visual storytelling, strategic communication, and cultural production. Originally from Moscow, I launched my first media project as a high school student, founding a school radio station and producing student TV. Since then, I’ve been driven by a passion for stories that challenge perceptions and uncover overlooked narratives.

Trained in Media Production and Management at HSE University (Moscow), with a minor in Contemporary Art History and Exhibition Studies completed at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, I approach content creation with both conceptual depth and aesthetic awareness. My academic journey also includes a year at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, and a semester at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where I studied Economics and Management of Arts and Cultural Activities. My work spans documentary filmmaking, podcast and video production, and multimedia campaigns—often exploring the blurred lines between reality, myth, and media.

Over the past years, I’ve led cross-platform productions and storytelling strategies for startups, university research labs, and commercial brands—working and studying across Moscow, Venice, and Hong Kong. From ideation to release, I manage production pipelines, guide creative direction, and build narratives that resonate culturally and visually.

I specialize in aligning creative vision with communication goals, ensuring that each project has strategic coherence and emotional impact. I'm currently open to international opportunities in media direction, content development, and narrative-led branding.
