Hi, my name is Yura. I'm a Kyiv based graphic designer and a contemporary artist ( a little bit). I am open minded, easy going, cheerful and sometimes adventurous. I am fond of visual culture and all related to it. My work is connected with designing user experience and I try to make applications more understandable and user friendly.

Art, design and conceptual thinking are my passion.

Photography is my hobby. Architecture and nature inspire me. I like to work with color, light and form. Check my Instagram www.instagram.com/yuraprog

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet interesting people, discover different countries and their lifestyle. I think that Couchsurfing meets my interests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly, I like electronic music and rock.
As for movies, I prefer atmospherical ones with unexpected turns of a plot that keeps aftertaste.
My favorite author is Truman Capote.

Once I made rope jumping from a bridge (I can share a video).
