I was born in 1974 in the village of Manyuky, Ternopil region, and studied at the Ternopil Children's Art School. Later, I trained as a professional artist at the Ivan Trush Lviv College of Applied Arts from 1990 to 1994. I then continued my education at the Ukrainian Academy of Printing (1994–1999), majoring in Book Graphics. During my university years, I was also an active member of the "Kolo-13" (Circle-13) art group. Since 1999, I have been working as a graphic designer specializing in advertising and printing. Between 2002 and 2004, I worked as a designer in Poland, which is where I discovered my passion for photography. From 2005 to 2012, I designed the children's popular science magazine Kolosok. Currently, I work as a designer at Tetapharm. Photography remains an integral part of my life.
