I am an illustrator and information designer with 20+ years of experience in media production. I am a Winner of the Information is Beautiful award for my infographic work. Since 2018, I have been active as a digital product lead, delivering effective software solutions working with designers, developers and DevOps.
Why work with me? Because I care about the delivery of your content as much as you do, and understand that it is you who makes your stories matter. Over the past two decades, beyond The Guardian, I’ve worked with a versatile group of clients from major media outlets and brand consultancies to investment banks to small businesses. Coming from this experience, I know that the delivery of great content is what matters the most. I also believe that friendships are more important than high fees.
Most importantly, I make a big deal out of being reliable, which means I maintain close communication with you at all times, provide snapshots and reports, and make sure that estimates are realistic. This is why those who worked with me before tend to come back for more.
So if you have an idea, maybe tried working with platforms or agencies before but aren’t sure if these have been too effective so far — why not get in touch?
I’d love to hear from you.
I had the pleasure of working with Zhenia on a number of projects. Not only is he a fantastically talented designer & illustrator - he is also one of the most well mannered, level headed and good natured colleagues I've worked with. Highly recommended!
