My Story

As the middle child in a family of three sisters, I’ve always been drawn to creative outlets. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, with a Russian heritage, I discovered my love for art early, starting with painting lessons that sparked a lifelong passion for creativity.

Before pursuing graphic design, I spent six years working in childcare, which was incredibly rewarding. But I eventually realized that my true calling was in design. That led me to return to school at MHCC, where I earned my associate's degree in graphic design.

Graduating in June 2024 was a huge milestone. I left not just with a degree but with the skills and confidence to create designs that truly make an impact. My diverse background and experiences influence everything I create, and I’m always excited to bring fresh ideas to each project, whether it's bringing a client’s vision to life or pushing my own creative boundaries.
