Born and raised in Odesa, Ukraine, Nikita has always sought a balance between technical education and creative exploration. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Automated Control Systems from Odesa Polytechnic National University, he realized that designing logos and websites for his department was far more inspiring than passing technical exams. That experience marked the beginning of his journey into design.
In November 2013, Nikita took his first professional steps by founding his own design studio. By 2018, he had advanced to the role of Art Director at a Kyiv-based design studio, where he managed large-scale projects for prominent European brands. This stage became an important school for working with major clients and international teams.
In September 2020, Nikita joined Darien Group as a Graphic Designer, taking on a key role in supporting the U.S. team by implementing time-sensitive project updates to ensure seamless workflows and fast client delivery. Since 2022, he has served as a Senior Graphic Designer, responsible for projects in marketing collateral and content marketing. His work focuses on creating visual solutions that are not only aesthetically compelling but also strategically aligned with brand communication.
Today, Nikita lives in Lviv with his wife and their three cats. Outside of work, he enjoys growing plants, finding inspiration in the melancholic music of Radiohead, and continually developing his craft—through design lectures, training, and exploring cinema as a source of new perspectives.
