My work is more than a job — it's my passion
My mission
I've been working as a freelance illustrator and UX/UI designer since 2018, specializing in creating intuitive and visually engaging designs for games, apps, and children's products. My expertise includes designing user interfaces for mobile and iPad games, ensuring seamless and enjoyable user experiences. I also create game art, including 2D and 3D characters, backgrounds, and interactive elements that enhance gameplay and storytelling.
In addition to games, I've illustrated and designed patterns for children's books and toys, focusing on age-appropriate and visually appealing designs. I work closely with clients and developers to bring ideas to life, combining creativity with a strong understanding of user needs.
From crafting high-quality visuals like icons, buttons, and character sprites to leading design strategies, I'm passionate about creating designs that are not only beautiful but also functional and engaging across a variety of projects.

FAQ

The easiest way is to reach out via the contact form on this page or hire me directly on Upwork. I typically respond within 24 hours. You can also message me on Telegram or email me directly.
-
My primary tool for UI/UX design is Figma — I use it for wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity screens with full Auto Layout. For illustration and 2D art I use Procreate and Adobe Illustrator. For 3D work — Blender and Adobe After Effects for motion.
-
I've worked across mobile and iPad games in a wide range of genres: casual and hyper-casual games, RPGs, adventure games, and educational apps for children. My projects include full UI/UX for a Wild West cowboy game, a Supercell-inspired casual game, a fantasy Shaman RPG, and more. I'm comfortable with any art direction — from flat design to painterly fantasy styles.
-
Yes, absolutely. I work with clients worldwide — from the US and Europe to Asia and Australia. Most of my projects over the past 8 years have been remote collaborations via Upwork or direct contact. I communicate in English and Russian.
-
It depends on the scope. A single screen or UI kit can be delivered in a few days. A full game UI from wireframes to polished Figma handoff typically takes 2–6 weeks. For full visual production including game art, characters and backgrounds, we'd discuss a custom timeline. I always agree on a clear deadline before starting.
