It's so hard for me - to write my biography.. each time I'm facing it, it's a challenge, because it feels like I'm writing about many different people and maybe it is true. I'm 39 years old now. I was born at Ordjonikidze - Russian town that I left at 40 days old. Since then moving is part of my life. My mom is from Baku, Azeirbadjan, and my father is from Ukraine. I was on the move many years and then my family repatriated to Israel. Here I've finished art-school, VIZO. Went to army as ammunition expert, finished with getting an excellence medal from President, after participanting in many secret operations, that I've volunteered to, out of boredom.. Then fine-arts college Tiltan and finally BA from New Bulgarian University at Sofia (cause why not? and my mom kept insisting that decent person needs BA). Then I was freelancing for couple of years making emoticons animations and site designs. Then I moved to center Israel - Ramat Gan with my future husband,Sergei. Here I started working on kids game called Mogobe, doing practically everything - animations, characters, props and locations. I worked there for 5 years, until I quit.Mostly because the game wasn't doing so well and we were forced to work overtime crazy hours, even weekends. The pressure and the atmosphere at the workplace become unbearable. As I quit my I've discovered I'm pregnant, so I figured out it's better to freelance to have my schedule more flexible. I was freelancing for 2 and half years until my son(Ron, my little prince ^^) has grown enough to go to kindergarden. I was doing many interesting projects and I really loved that time, though I can't say it was great money. By the time I've decided to put Ronat kindergarden, my freelance was going down the drain. One of my main clients went bankrupt and didn't pay me and another clients opened their own office, and figured it would be cheaper for them not to pay me anymore. So I was quite desperate to find a job. So I landed at Sciplay as UI artist. Though I wasn't a great expert at ui. As ridiculous as it is - instead of making UI they gave me to draw pets for the game. (Something like pokemons, with evolution and stuff). I'm still working at Sciplay as of now. I went there having no choice,being kind of reluctant, but found there great team, that become my good friends. And many interesting projects. I'm a bit frustrated how small game industry is in my country. I really hope that one day we will have more interesting games than slots and casual games for mobile -_-. Fun bonus: * I'm a cat person - we decided that 3 cats is a good balance for the family and good spread of territory hhhhh So we have 3 furry friends - Ichy, Oskar and Flerken. *I was at martial arts for about 10 years (kung fu, wing chun). I quit them for the sake of my art, since running a family is a tight schedule business -_- * I'm a pro gamer at Mobile Legends - legend rank *I'm famous for being investigated for stealing 18 rockets from the army. hhhh I didn't steal them, I promise ^_- *I am curly, my nickname is Curlyhair for many years, so it kinda become part of identity. Nice to meet you ^^
