Hello, I'm Anastasiia, affectionately known as Tess. My journey began in the city of Kazan, Russia , where I cultivated my roots.

Despite my initial foray into finance at a bank, (can you imagine?) destiny led me to Dubai, where I had the privilege of visiting nearly every country in the Middle East region during my professional endeavors, exploring its diverse cultures over two enriching years.

My Dubai experience bestowed upon me not just cherished friendships but also a profound immersion into the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern cultures, a two-year journey that allowed me to explore and appreciate the diverse landscapes, traditions, and perspectives across the region.

Fueled by a passion for graphic design, web design, and CGI, I find joy in crafting meaningful narratives through typography and graphic elements, particularly in the realms of branding and logos. My creations aim to encapsulate metaphors addressing the pressing issues of our society, weaving a deeper connection between design and the world we inhabit.

I am holding in my hands the culmination of the 'Type Specimens' project, a workshop led by Professor Markus Lange. Each participant, myself included, delved into researching a specific font, resulting in a collection of 24 distinct posters and a beautifully crafted brochure.
