I'm Kazakhstan-born, Minnesota-raised, California-based visual designer, cartographer and wayfinding specialist. I strive to make the message clear, simple, and engaging. I'm optimistic about creating change by design. As a communicator with a strong tech side, I'm applying my skills to stir curiosity and tell a compelling story in two and three dimensions.


Having grown up in Central Asia, a remote and desolate place in the middle of a vast continent, I have always been intensely interested in exploring the bigger world out there. I'm truly passionate about cartography and wayfinding, obsessively curious and generally, I just want to understand everything about this field. Working as a transit information designer, I get to fulfill my dream of designing products that create delightful experiences for transit users everywhere and get them to their destination. I believe that purpose, personality and aesthetics are the foundations of good design. I apply this sense of curiosity to my life as I hike, run, bike and paddle to new places and make friendships with amazing, talented people along the way.
