Designer and Artist with 7+ years of experience designing content and visual experience for digital and analog products.
Grown up in times of Tamagotchi, Spice Girls and Sega Mega Drive. I am an ambitious, creative, adaptable and detail-oriented person. Some of my favourite hobbies are reading, exploring innovations and crafting. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media Design (2010) and a Master of Arts in Game Design (2013). Between late 2015 and 2019 I worked as freelance Designer in Munich. Before that I worked as Game Production Assistant and Creative Director.
Currently I work full-time at Designaffairs and create my miniatures and graphic art on weekends.
I have a broad range of skills and experience within creating aesthetic concepts, engaging emotions and user-centered design that allows me to help companies and teams to understand, design and visualise better ideas and experiences. I speak 3 languages fluently – Russian, German and English.
Being curious leads me to explore an endless amount of areas. Illustration, miniatures, photography, fashion – I enjoy getting stuck in with it all!
I have been working on projects across different industries such as Automotive, Finance, Telecommunications, Hospitality, Healthcare, Tourism and Games.
Furthermore I enjoy speaking at the conferences and teaching design, art and crafting classes! More about art and crafting classes can be found on kreaschief.de
