Hello!
My name is Nik and i’m an independent designer.

POSITIONING & APPROACH

Personal Info

→ 20 years old, Saint Petersburg, 4th-year student at the HSE Art and Design School (Communication Design Typography profile).

Design Approach

→ I confidently work with strict grids and clean minimalism, but I am also deeply involved in raw, expressive visual experiments. I know how to blend these styles to get a unique result. For me, the hands-on process and a fresh perspective are everything. I trust my hands, explore materials, and turn experimental chaos into controlled design systems.

Positioning

→ B2B. Focused on creative partnerships, freelance contracts, and project-based work with design studios and agencies.

TA

→ Art Directors, Creative Directors, Founders of independent design studios and boutique branding agencies.

Tools

→ InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator.

PROJECTS

01. BRANDING

WeatherProof Sharing

systematic approach

Context & Problem

→ 2-month educational module, 2024 → Saint Petersburg has completely unpredictable weather changes. Seasons overlap, and sudden rain or wind constantly ruins urban mobility for locals and tourists.

Solution & Visual System

→ A seasonal, short-term rental ecosystem for weather-protective gear (umbrellas, raincoats, scarves, caps) with per-minute billing via an automated terminal network. → Technical metadata — sizes, protection levels (RAIN, WIND, SUN), and seasonal parameters — is used as the core typographic identity across the POS-materials, garments, and stations.

02. CONCEPT

Puzzle Calendar

object design, time experiments

Исходный размер 1950x1097

Context & Approach

→ 2-month educational module on calendar systems, 2025 → A completely conceptual, experimental project on the edge of typography and object design. Here, time is treated as a fluid material rather than a fixed grid.

The Concept

→ The calendar as a tactile «time constructor» that turns abstract time into a daily ritual. It allows users to break down, transform, and rebuild the structure of a month, making the interaction process more important than the final result.
