My major is architecture. I graduated from the Novosibirsk State University of Architecture, Design & Arts, where I spent 6+ years during the whole period of education.

I studied civil architecture, engineering, human-oriented, and interior/exterior design, not to mention history, chemistry, sociology, ecology, fine arts, and many other disciplines that influence me as a designer until this day.
I'm an AIESEC alumnus
Spent 4,5 years as a team member, Vice President, President, coach, and conference speaker delivering leadership development and project management programs to youth. Hey, AIESEC!
One day I published a book. It's in Russian but you still can admire it. I have some more novels, but still waiting the time for bring it alive.
I'm a proud friend of this lovely cake, Lapland the Sheltie. Actually, he's a sheepdog, so he pretends that we and our friends are his sheep. And that's fine with us :)

I have more nice projects to go through
