      I'm a Senior Spine animator based in Kyiv. I studied computer science and worked in motion design before moving into games.

      I started in 2015 with commercials for Coca-Cola, Nemiroff and other brands, then moved into games, where Spine became my main tool. Since then I've animated heroes, monsters, kids' characters and full UI sets for mobile games at Genesis, WhaleApp, Glera and Bini Games.

      I care about the whole pipeline: rigs another animator can pick up, meshes that deform cleanly, light exports that run well in Unity, and motion with real weight behind it. I've also given Spine lectures and workshops and mentored new animators.
