Hello, I'm a freelance designer, illustrator, watercolor artist.

Hi gals, boys, and everyone. My name is Valentina, I'm from Russia and I'm a freelance designer & illustrator.

I create art (primary watercolor), illustration, design, and also I’m trying to survive as a freelancer, so that is what my blog about.

I was living in the middle of Cyberia, then moved to Saint-Petersburg to study Graphic Design in University. One of my first big jobs was as a designer and illustrator for board games company – social media, pre-press and all this jazz. Now I live in Moscow with my boyfriend and chinchilla “Bulochka” (bon-bon) and doing web design, branding, banners, icons, motion etc.

Illustration and icons for Russian cleaning company. Also made the website.

As a freelancer, I work on Upwork and 99designs, but mostly with my regular clients. Furthermore, I thinking a lot about making my own MOOC, but it’s just a crazy idea for now.

First post on dribbble

Right now I’m in the middle (not quite yet actually) of my 100-day project – I drew one new watercolor illustration every day (I’m on my way to 36/100 days, you can check it on my Instagram). So I thinking about post it here daily or weekly, and maybe create more backstage of the process. Also, I have a youtube channel, but my video skills are common, so it looks very amateurishly for now. Will be glad to hear your suggestions about all this stuff. I’m not so confident to record talking head, so I just posted speed paints.

Well, let’s start and see how it’s going!
