CURRENT MISSION

Learning to play squash. Training hard and travelling for tournaments.

ABOUT ME

je suis créateur de symboles, architecte d’alphabets, ingénieur de la littérature

overall curious and open-minded person, really love traveling, meeting new people, dancing(lindy hop/salsa/russian dance), and enjoying life.

I am very passionate about what I do, and try to learn something new every day.

I was born in Russia, went to school in the USA, finished studies in Sweden and Russia. I don't associate myself 100% with Яussian culture as people stereotypically tend to perceive me, although I do understand my home culture better from the outside. I am often mistaken for a spanish, rarely american/south african. I am a traveller, lost somewhere in the world.

I dislike being tethered to one location for a long time, it dilutes my free spirit, prefer a nomadic lifestyle, which is my normal state of being. To travel is to live.

A font designer and teacher by occupation, I would like to write, travel-blog, dance, and be a stand-up comedian.

PHILOSOPHY

Staying unattached, willing to forgive and forget, to make up
space for new opportunities in life. I live in the moment, carpe diem.

I lead an exciting and truly satisfying life. I do what makes me happy, and NOT do what doesn't.
