I’m a curious & optimistic woman who loves to create & enjoy games & other kinds of art (visual, narrative, experimental, etc).

Born in Kazakhstan and raised by a half-Russian half-German family in Germany, I consider myself a multicultural human. I have huge empathy for migrants & refugees as a result of my family history.

I studied Computational Linguistics & Oriental Studies in Erlangen, Germany & obtained my academic degree of Bachelor of Arts. Furthering the empathy and setting off my search for digital solutions to teach empathy by finding ways to understand and share language and culture.

I received the academic degree of Master of Science in Computer Game Science with a specialization in Computer Science (Games) in Bayreuth, Germany. This improved my understanding of games and digital media in general and thought me how create different forms of art (including games).

I’m currently working fulltime as Technical Artist @ TheraBytes in Munich, Germany – creating visual effects and diving deep in shader magic. ✨

Video games are a great medium which allows players to learn at their own pace. It makes it possible to teach an (large) audience important messages without the dull experience of sitting in a boring classroom. Instead they spark emotions that let us learn those messages on a personal level.

And I’m all in for that. Let us all laugh, create & enjoy some art! ✌ ♡
