About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fulfilling creator in their creation.

Creative Order concept development.

ABOUT ME

'Creative order' club leader.
'Creative order' strategic marketing & marketing comms agency owner.

I have been living a fertile, full of events and people life. Meanwhile I manage to spend sufficient amount of time solo to reflect and come up with something new to the world :)

I used to be an editor-in-chief at LiveJournal.com, the first social media platform in Russia. Then I've set up a Brand PR and social media department at Beeline, one of Big-3 telcos in Russia.

Now I'm having my sabbatical (finishing soon, uh).

PHILOSOPHY

Creative Order.

We are lighntess and light.

We came out from the deep to learn to love, to learn how to live. (c)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Exchanging the ideas, know-hows, experience enriches us. The whole world is one family, and CS makes it real. If it isn't great to exchange values?! Especially when it saves a penny for another ride to a sightseeing or elsewhere. :D

Interests

I've been teaching English for years, and I also like studying other languages (coped with French, Swedish, old Slavonic, and a little German). I also used to edit linguistic textbooks: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish.

I'm a great fan of music. I used to study at the Musical college to be a choir conductor and I was. Even while working at telco, I've arrange a choir of 120 people, we gave concerts on the best Russian stages: Kremlin, the Red Square, Mariinsky theater, conservatory hall, Kropotkinskaya metro station, etc . Now I sometimes play piano and try to play a piece or two in all new places. I sing as well.

Screenplay writing is more like a hobby.

Not that bad at social media. ;)

Adore trying everything new.
