About Me

Hi there.

I'm Kira, a visual designer and art director with a passion for blending creativity and strategy to elevate brands. As a first-generation immigrant from Kyiv, Ukraine, I grew up in a bilingual and tricultural household, embracing my Jewish-Ukrainian identity. This cultural richness shapes my unique approach to design.

My love for art began early, with drawing and painting at age six and photography at ten. These interests led to a diverse career in visual and UI design, brand identity, apparel and print design, and paid social advertising. I specialize in crafting digital experiences that are both visually stunning and functionally seamless. My journey spans industries like Fitness, Technology, Beauty, Nonprofits, B2B, CPG, and Healthcare, with a track record of driving sales and audience growth. My portfolio includes brands like UCSD, VitaCup, Sierra Club, and Jazzercise, Inc.

Based in San Diego, I draw inspiration from the sun-kissed waves and breezy coastlines of California. I enjoy adventures with my husband and two boys, exploring travel, music, museums, and nature.

I'm always eager to take on new design and marketing challenges. Let's connect and create something extraordinary together.
