My name is Ella.

I am originally from Siberia, and I currently live and work in Shanghai.

Although I am not the best storyteller in person, my artworks speak for me.

All the images I create are metaphors and stories that offer an opportunity to feel the world around us differently.

我叫Ella。

我来自西伯利亚，目前在上海生活和工作。

虽然我本人不是最擅长讲故事的人，但我用艺术作品替我发言。

我创造的所有图像都作为隐喻，都讲不同的故事，都让观众换个角度重新看我们的世界。

In addition to graphic design and illustrations, I also express myself in creative photography – with a mix of different styles to create deep, meaningful and unique images.

I work with international clients in order to create new ideas and creative solutions for various brands – logo design; custom illustrations for books, magazines, music track covers; character design and icons.

除了平面设计和插图，我也拍创意摄影：通过混合不同的风格，我旨在创造印象深刻、有意义的独特图像。

我经常与国际客户合作，为各种品牌创造创意解决方案，比如logo设计，书籍、杂志、音乐专辑封面的定制插图，角色和图标设计等。

I’m always open for interesting and challenging projects!

我总对有趣和有挑战性的项目持开放态度。
