What I Do | Services

Branding & Identity

Development of an identity rooted in business objectives and cultural context. Translating complex background, history, and brand values into functional visual systems and environmental graphics.

Merchandise for the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Context & Problem: Developed for the Design Tsekh — a 2-day team competition. Existing museum merchandise was outdated, relied on tourist clichés, and failed to engage younger audiences.

Challenge: To reimagine merchandise for the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve into a modern, highly wearable collection that avoids cliché designs and resonates with contemporary youth.

Solution & Concept: Tsaritsyno cannot be reduced to a single symbol; it is an architectural ensemble, a historic royal residence, and a natural sanctuary. We structured the collection across three core facets: architecture (form and geometry), history (texts, dates, quotes), and nature (materials, color palettes).

Identity for the «I.T.D.» Acting Workshop

Context & Problem: «I.T.D.» is a contemporary acting and performance studio for teens aged 14–18 at the Museum of Moscow. The core problem was the complete lack of an engaging, non-standard visual identity capable of attracting teenagers and reflecting the freedom of self-expression.

Challenge: To develop a dynamic and experimental brand identity that captures the spirit of theatrical exploration and appeals directly to a teenage audience.

Solution & Concept: The visual language translates stage mise-en-scène diagrams into a flexible graphic grid. Actor positioning points, movement vectors, stage color zoning, and directional lines serve as modular core elements of the corporate identity.

Monkey Buffet Festival Identity

Context & Problem: Held annually in Lopburi, Thailand, the Monkey Buffet Festival lacked a cohesive visual identity and branding, making it difficult to attract tourists and support the tradition.

Challenge: To develop a memorable brand identity that reveals the festival’s vibrant character and revitalizes its visual presence.

Solution & Concept: The identity builds upon the organic silhouettes of tropical fruits and expressive character graphics. Through soft contours, a rich palette, and dynamic layouts, the design comes alive, transforming a local tradition into a holistic and emotional brand experience.

Packaging

Designing functional packaging with a focus on materials, manufacturability, and structural engineering. We work with form, die-lines, and tactility to ensure the product looks compelling both on the shelf and in the user’s hands.

Packaging for the «Cashmere» Theater

Context & Problem: Developed for the Design Tsekh—a two-day team competition. The core problem was the lack of a specialized gourmet box that could hold the items while incorporating interactive elements.

Challenge: The task was to create interactive, premium gift packaging for a gourmet box, immersing the viewer in the mood of the play even before they entered the venue.

Solution & Concept: The packaging is not merely a box, but a thoughtful immersion scenario consisting of three sequential stages: Invitation—Anticipation—Aftertaste. Through tactile contacts, polygraphic inserts, and gastronomic sets, the viewer enters the context of the production long before the opening curtain.

Packaging for the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve Collection

Context & Problem: Developed for the Design Tsekh — a 2-day team competition. The museum merchandise lacked engaging packaging that could appeal to a younger audience and inspire a desire to purchase gifts or treat oneself.

Challenge: To design a packaging system that served as a seamless product extension, translating Tsaritsyno’s atmosphere into a tactile unboxing experience.

Solution & Concept: Built upon the collection’s core facets: architecture (geometric box forms referencing gothic style), history, and nature.
