Hello! My name is Ksenia Krasilnikova, and I am a Graphic and Brand Designer.
ABOUT ME
<h3>→ 20 years old, Moscow, 4th-year student at the HSE Art and Design School (Communication Design Branding profile).</h3>
Work with visual identities, posters, and object design, developing concepts that translate into distinctive visual systems.
I’m interested in the connection between an idea, its visual expression, and the way people interact with a brand.My approach combines conceptual thinking, visual experimentation, and an understanding of business objectives. I also work with AI-assisted production and prompt design to expand the possibilities of visual communication.

SELECTED PROJECTS
01: BRANDING & VISUAL IDENTITY
FBKO: Kirov Region Basketball Federation
Brand identity · Visual concept · Brand applications
Context & Challenge
FBKO is a basketball club based in Kirov. The project required a distinctive visual identity that could connect the club to its regional context while establishing a recognizable and consistent brand language.
Concept & Visual System
The identity draws on the imagery of Dymkovo toys, a traditional Kirov craft, reinterpreting its characteristic horse motif through the visual language of basketball.
A deep red palette, references to lacquered surfaces, and dark wood create a visual atmosphere that connects local cultural heritage with the energy of contemporary sport.
Outcome
The project received the highest evaluation from the academic commission and became a finalist for DAFES Choice in June 2026. The identity was developed in collaboration with the client and advanced toward implementation.
BeFit: Sports Ecosystem (StartUp)
Brand strategy · Visual identity · Art direction · Digital design
Context & Challenge
BeFit is a fitness ecosystem startup that integrates various facets of an active lifestyle into a single product. The challenge was to develop a cohesive brand experience across its digital platform, communications, and physical touchpoints.
Concept & Visual System
I developed the brand identity and established the visual principles that unified the product interface, marketing materials, and brand communications.
The system was designed to maintain consistency across various formats while enabling each touchpoint to fulfill its distinct function.
