ABOUT ME

Hello! I am stage and costume designer who works in theater and film productions. I was born in Belarus and spend most of my life in the beautiful city Saint Petersburg in Russia. In 2022 I escaped the country because of my antiwar position. Now build my new life in the Netherlands and work as a self-emloyed designer with European theater and film productions.
