Hello! My name is Misha and I'm art director, graphic designer, illustrator and visual artist. I’m available for freelance projects and commissions.
I am a graphic designer, art director, and illustrator. I graduated from the Department of Visual Communication at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (Slovakia) and completed internships in studios and agencies in both London and Bratislava. As a freelancer, I designed campaigns for various events and festivals, and collaborated with smaller organizations, brands, and clients.
Among my most notable projects is a seven-year collaboration with Biela noc (Nuit Blanche), the largest contemporary art festival, as well as with the organization Čerstvé Ovocie n.o., for which I create visual concepts for events such as Urban Market and Kolabo.
My work spans various forms of graphic design — from creating visual identities for brands, events, and festivals, to illustration, occasional book design, and independent artistic work. I have also worked long-term as an art director for the Slovak branch of Curaprox.

CURAPROX, Biela noc, Urban Market, Čierne diery, Možnosť voľby, Albatros Media, Čerstvé Ovocie, Fedrigoni Slovakia, Chlieb náš, Identities Brand, Mannschaft, DOT.
