Hi there!
Lovely you made it here. I’m Polina, a hands-on Creative with background in Marketing & Visual Arts based in New York. In my 10+ years journey, I've collaborated with small businesses & large corporations across continents and various industries, with particular interest in healthcare, wellness and tech. I studied Business & Marketing and graduated from the Academy of Arts, which naturally evolved into what I do — combining my strategic thinking with creativity.
Think of me as your go-to creative partner, whether you’re building a brand, launching a creative campaign or need a fresh pair of eyes. My mission is to craft visuals that are not only beautiful but also clear, meaningful and reach your goals. Take a look at my work here.

my story
I’m an artist at heart — driven by curiosity, creativity, and Authenticity. Because great work starts with real connection, I believe it’s important to know who you’re working with!
Born in a small mountain town in Russia, I’ve explored 30+ countries and studied across the US and UK — collecting ideas, stories, and perspectives along the way. From Saint Petersburg to New York, each place shaped my creative lens. Since moving to the U.S. in 2019, I’ve fully immersed myself in design — bringing a global perspective to everything I create.
Art has always been my foundation. I grew up sketching, convinced I’d become a fashion designer one day. That creative pull led me to art schools and academies, where I studied form, color, and art history. In 2008, I picked up my first camera — and a new way of seeing the world opened up. Through the lens, I learned to frame the world with intention. It was there that my eye for composition, detail, and visual storytelling truly came to life.
At the same time, I’ve always had a love for structure. I’m someone who organizes, tracks, and optimizes everything — from my daily life to complex workflows. That mindset eventually led me to study International Business. After years in content production and full-time marketing roles, I developed a strategic lens to complement my creative instincts.
When I’m not creating, you’ll probably find me in a crazy yoga pose, at a live show, or chasing whatever new skill has me curious!
