I am originally from Moldova, a small country in Eastern Europe. After high school graduation, I studied at I. Repin State Art School for four years. During this time I perfected my skills in life drawing and painting, graphic design, typography, illustration and understanding the printing process. Later, I was accepted at the St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Design in Russia where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.

As an Art Director at O2 ideas advertising agency I worked with a brilliant creative team in developing and creating numerous projects for The Home Depot, Books-A-Million, Verizon Wireless, Intuit, Taylor Morrison, Alabama State University, Captain D's and many others. Being the lead creative on The Home Depot, I was responsible for overseeing and developing the employment brand and all of the traditional and online usage materials and collateral for their employment marketing program. I have won several creative awards, including Regional and District ADDYs, CEA Awards. Among my recent clients are Shops of Grand River, Legacy Credit Union, Jim N 'Nick's BBQ and Little Donkey Restaurant.
