I'm a designer, I'm studying graphic design at the British Higher School of Design. My past professional experience is related to marketing and advertising. My first higher education was in sociology and brand management. I work for the worldwide advertising agency Havas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to discover not only the country I'll be visiting, but people as well. The easiest way to experience the culture of the country is communication with people who live there.
I also want to share my own experiences and Russian culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are varied from classics to rock, from electronics to folk.

I like to watch arthouse films and blockbusters about super heroes.

I like to read modern Russian writers, such as Pelevin and Sorokin, and classic literature: Nabokov and Dostoevsky. I also dig foreign authors: Camus, Sartre, Nietzsche, William Gibson, and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became a designer instead of pushing career in marketing.
