dreaming is not enough; you need someone who can turn those dreams into reality.
My name is Ksyusha, and I am an animation director.In my artworks, I try to find interesting approaches and show things that you wouldn’t see in real life.From 2023 to 2027, I’ve been studying animation at HSE Art and Design School. I’ve created original short films and commercial animations, working both individually and in groups. In addition to animation, I’ve also worked with many other mediums.

I quickly learn new software, can easily adapt my style to suit the required tasks, have an experience of working in teams and am familiar with all stages of animation production,

a personal 2d short animated film // all production done by myself
character design // the scientist, the star, the musician
A mysterious and melancholic story about the twin brothers, one of whom is taken to the sky by a never seen before cosmic being.
I plan on developing the lore of the film and composed a mini-album of soundtracks, which you can listen to here.
— AGAMI CERAMICS
animation for promotion // clay motion, compositing, sound design
A collaborative project with a ceramics brand.
My task was to work with the studio’s mascot, the agami bird, and integrate it into the world of animation. This led to the idea of creating a series of videos about animal-like ceramic artists.

The founders of the studio were very pleased with the resulting videos and posted them on the brand’s social media channels.
— HIPPYATNIK
a documentary animation // stop motion, mixed media
Some memories about the hippie festival in Tsaritsyno.
Here, I experimented with different techniques to showcase the diverse range of people you could encounter at the event.
