The leading infographic designer

I care about the delivery of your content as much as you do and understand that it is you who makes your stories matter. With 20 years of experience and expertise in information design, I create all sorts of materials, including corporate presentation decks, viral social media content, full-scale annual reports, complex data visualisations and information design guidelines for brands. My specialisations: - Corporate: presentations, white papers, annual reports, conference graphics, webinar slides - Marketing: social media assets, mini-sites, interactive visuals, informational lead magnets, leaflets invites and e-vites, landing pages - Branding: logos and icons, illustration and infographic guidelines, brand books and presentations - publishing: e-books, online magazines, bespoke visual research reports My approach I ensure a high level of efficiency and satisfaction throughout the design process. Our main steps in the design process would be: 1. Carefully read the brief, understand the brand guidelines and discuss the project details with you. This helps to confirm the time and budget estimate and to advise on the optimal way of carrying out the job. 2. Producing the first rough set of visuals, sometimes several quick versions, as agreed with you in the kick-off step. This makes it possible to get feedback early and possible to rapidly find the right approach. If it’s an illustrated infographic, I submit a quick set of sketches and a wireframe. 3. Continue creating progressively elaborate versions of the winning idea, getting your confirmation at every step of the way. This makes the work quick and gives you a sense of achievement, as you see the final design being gradually created as per your requirements. 4. Final feedback, content tweaks and changes before publication. My strengths: - Information design. - Digital Illustration. - Creative Direction. - Branding & Identity. - Editorial Graphics. - Typography. - Team leadership. - Working with offshore teams. - Languages: Russian (native); English (fluent spoken and written). Personal qualities - High standard of discipline, accuracy and precision. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills; a confident presenter. - Advanced research skills, critical and analytical thinker. - Strong leadership skills: ability to collaborate with executive management and nurture great teams. - High level of enthusiasm, energy, and motivation to succeed as well as a sense of humour and collaborative approach to problem solving. - Data and results-driven, with the ability to create meaningful KPIs and goals. - Solutions-oriented, focused on always putting the customer first. My achievements: - Information is Beautiful, Silver award (an award for infographics in London) - The Macmillan Prize for Illustration, Highly Commended (an award from UK children’s books publisher) - Self-initiated work published in The Guardian, The Slate, FastCo:Design and Understanding the World: The Atlas of infographics by Taschen. - Dozens of commercial clients, happy both with my infographics and other illustration work, including The New York Times, European Commission, AARP, Deloitte, Forbes, Pearson, Sony, Google, IBM Watson, Adobe and NBC Universal.
