PORTFOLIO
BIOGFRAPHY
A Second-Generation Architect
I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, coming from a family of architects. From an early age, I was deeply interested in both the natural sciences and the arts. At 16, I was admitted to the Johanson Secondary Art School in St. Petersburg, and after graduation, I successfully passed the entrance exams to the Ilya Repin St. Petersburg Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture—also known as the Academy of Arts.
After six years of study, I chose the design of the Pulkovo-3 terminal as my thesis project.
Upon receiving my degree, I decided to broaden my creative and professional horizons by working abroad. My choice was Ireland, where I spent two years as an architect and designer.
In 2008, I further expanded my expertise by completing a professional retraining program at the International Banking Institute (St. Petersburg) with a specialization in Strategic Management and Organizational Leadership. Later, in 2017, I successfully completed an MBA program at the Lomonosov Moscow State University Business School.
Since 2002, I have been a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.
