About Me
Growing up in Kyiv, Ukraine, I was influenced by both Eastern and Western media, sparking an early love for video games and art. After moving to the U.S. and finishing high school, I discovered my passion for art and games I earned an AA in Game Design. Wanting more, I applied to San Jose State's Animation/Illustration program. Despite challenges like COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, I stayed focused with the support of my peers. This journey has shaped me as both an artist and a person, opening doors I never imagined.
