ABOUT ME
CHILDHOOD
Before I started school, I spent six months each year in Sochi with my grandparents.


Every morning I would go to the sea, and after my afternoon nap, I’d meet my friends to build shalashes (makeshift shelters), play Cossack-robbers, and pick cherry plums straight from the trees.
All of this had a profound impact on who I am today.
I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetics of the underground — climbing onto rooftops, exploring abandoned buildings, wandering through forgotten places.
There’s something magnetic about them. They fascinate me and bring me back to the feelings of childhood — freedom, curiosity, and quiet wonder.
My greatest loves are the sea, cinema, music and chocolate.
I truly can’t imagine life without them.
Starting in my second year of university, I found myself drawn more to film sets than lecture halls.
That’s where my journey into the creative industry truly began.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to keep growing — seeking out projects that challenge the status quo and contribute to the global creative conversation.

ADOLESCENCE
When I was 14, my parents sent me to a summer school in England - something I’m still deeply grateful to them for.
It made me realise that you can communicate your thoughts to anyone, no matter their background or nationality. All you really need is the desire to connect.
