GO FLY DON’T LIE — Animated Story
A short animated story about a curious puppy that stumbles upon a tricky seagull

The main focus of this project was creating a complete story that could tell itself through its own visual narrative—like an illustrated storybook brought to life.


We explore the new and welcoming world together with the main character, viewing everything through his youthful naivety and curiosity as he faces his first mistakes and life lessons.

Backgrounds
Paranormal Fiancé — Music Video
Music video for the song «Paranormal Fiancé» by the musical artist Dyavolisa.
A country girl dreams of encountering paranormal phenomena until she runs into a charming extraterrestrial.


The task for that project was to create a unique visual language capable of translating this peculiar love story from the artist’s imagination directly onto the screen.


As a result, I combined an anime-like character design favored by the music artist, an alien color palette, and a traditional Slavic countryside background.


Silly Circus — Puppet Animation & Character Design
Short circus-themed puppet animation
The brief was to design a circus-themed character and create a shot puppet animation featuring it.


To adhere to the brief, I aimed to create a character who appears both athletic and comically clumsy.


Kitchen orchestra — Clean-up animation
A commissioned short sketch animation for a restaurant.
The task was to create a quirky sketch animation for a local restaurant, illustrating how professional chefs can allow chaos and harmony to coexist in the same kitchen.
As a solution, I created a GIF animation depicting the simultaneous actions of various characters unfolding on a single screen.
