About me

About me

Profile:
My name is Ruslan. I was born in Izmail, Ukraine, where my journey into the world of creativity and design began. At 16, I dived headfirst into video editing, which soon expanded into motion design, animation, and later graphic design. What started as a hobby turned into a lifelong passion, ultimately leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Video Design at the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design, where I graduated in July 2016.


By the time I was in my 20s, my skills had caught the attention of a major TV channel in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. After an interview, I was invited to work with top Ukrainian TV channels, gaining experience at the forefront of the media industry in my home country. From there, my career took off internationally, leading me to collaborate with Hedgehogs vs Foxes in Ireland, Growth Shop in London, and even Netflix.


Today, I continue to pursue my passion for crafting engaging visual experiences, constantly pushing creative boundaries and evolving my skills. My journey has been unconventional, but it’s made me who I am—a creator driven by passion and perseverance.
