I was born and raised in Ekibastuz, a small town in Kazakhstan known for housing the world's largest chimney and occasionally experiencing winter temperatures as low as -40°C.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design and a Master of Science in Design from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology. Both programs placed a strong emphasis on research in design, which has deeply shaped my approach to problem-solving and creativity.
In my free time, I enjoy capturing moments through film photography, illustrating, and exploring thrift shops with friends.
