Biography

While studying at Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Fine Arts, in 2020 I created animated short film Promise, based on a personal story about my father. This film won many awards at international animation festivals. From that moment on, I decided that I would go into animation professionally.

In particular, during my studies, I created the projects What We Don't Talk About (2019), From Recently to Long Ago (2020), The World Tried to Catch Me but Couldn't (2020), There's No Such Thing as a Dragon (2021), and the last, dispersed project The War That Is Always Around (2022).

Currently, I am working on a short film about a child with special needs called Misundershood, which is part of a larger project called Illogical Adult World. In 2023, I pitched the concept of the Illogical Adult World series at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and Market (Mifa), Cartoon Springboard, worked on it at the Sisterhood of Young Animation Auteurs workshop, and gained experience as a guest at Cartoon Movie and Cartoon Forum.
