About

For last 1,5 years I've been working as a freelance graphic designer (I've been doing logo and monogram design, creating printed products, such as: business cards, posters, banners; creating illustrations based on pictures) and for last 8 month I've been teaching calligraphy (the use of basic tools, scripts and composition) in SketchLab art studio in Odessa. I also organized and holded calligraphy workshops, created custom wedding and gift cards. I can work both on a computer and on paper, then transfer the sketch into vector form. I'm familiar with retouching, photo editing and creating magazine layouts. Before coming to design and calligraphy I've been teaching English for 3 years in private school "USE English" in Shanghai, China. I'm expecting to get the experience of working in a competent and friendly team and develop my graphic design skills. I want to get in-depth knowledge of font design, but I would also like to work more on creating text and graphic layouts, collages and brand identity.
