Position: Lead Graphic Designer, Illustrator
Category: Design
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 7

I'm most proud of successfully leading a team of graphic/web/UI designers for 2 years. It's challenging work to manage and do the design itself at the same time. We've managed to create an award-winning brand and visual communication in 1 year.
If you need a creative designer with a client-orientated approach and a unique style of illustrations, you found the right match. I have more than 7 years of experience in both illustration and design. My main specialty in infographic design and illustration, because it allows me to combine my two strengths: journalism past and graphic design knowledge.

I'm looking mainly for infographic/illustration/web design work. I have more than 2 years of experience as a lead designer in a Fintech company, so I'm open to leadership positions as well.

I'm also a co-founder of YOI Design Studio. We're producing illustration-heavy projects in tight deadlines and are a ready-to-hire team of 3 highly skilled designers. We're not happy with anything less than perfect. Our goal is a long-term reliable professional relationship with our clients. So we're in a constant search of brands, that like to redesign and elevate their communication to the next level.

Thank you for your time and if you have any questions, just let me know!
I love working with small teams that are highly driven. The most important thing for me is trust between team members and the ability to estimate things properly. I don't like a constant feeling of urgency. In my opinion, a well-organized workflow and good time-management are key. I believe, that great design comes from a lot of research and inspired, refreshed people. A tired and angry team can not produce anything ground-breaking. So life/work balance is highly important to me.
