We do good work for great people. We help brands to become unique and attractive. Through partnership relations with our clients, we create the brands that win the hearts of consumers.
I am an art director, graphic designer and creative producer having 20 years of experience. My passion is creating visual stories, the inspiring and motivational ones. I have diplomas issued by the Academy of Architecture (Ukraine), as well as those of a designer (Italy) and journalist (Ukraine).
We know how difficult it is to build a brand. How much energy you put into your dream on a daily basis. However, all your efforts are futile without proper communication with the consumer. We believe in the power of design. We know what language to speak with your customer. Our works show how many people have entrusted their projects to us.

Watch VideoEveryone needs a home. 1.5 million people were left shelterless as a result of hostilities in the Donbas. Every day, thousands of people are denied accommodation rental due to their current registration address. They all need support, but intolerant attitude on the part of society only aggravates their tough situation. The project was created in collaboration with Irina Erkan, the author and producer.

Story: CBMFORUM is an innovative company in the engineering services market in Ukraine. European service, transparency in relations, a unique document flow management system, a mobile office, the ability to find a compromise for all parties involved, which is important in such complex projects as real estate construction. 10 years on the Ukrainian market, a large portfolio of properties in operation, immaculate track record.
When designing the CBMFORUM company logo, we focused consumer’s attention on the innovative approach to client business and its leading market position. So appeared the ‘№1’ sign in the logo graphics along with turquoise - the colour of everything new and unconventional.
‘It is my deep conviction that the company of Irina Erkan is the most advanced and top-quality of everything the market can offer today. Besides, their approach to the customer is captivating. Normally, the following fact is true: if you want a thing well done, do it yourself. And this is a pleasant exception, when if you want a thing well done – contact the company of Irina Erkan and just don’t interfere,’Yuliya Dvorakovskaya, a partner of CBMFORUM.

Story: A girl named Olga liked dolls very much. She created some incredible hairstyles for them, picked up wonderful dresses, tried on different shoes. Then she grew up, got married, had children and dolls were just put aside... One day, her daughter asked her as follows, ‘Mom, I want a doll. Not the one everyone has, but a special one!” Again, colourful patches, ribbons and buttons appeared in the house. And then, their friends bought four dolls at once. So appeared the Four Dolls brand. The dolls went to please their mistresses to Italy, France, Brazil, the UAE, Bahrain and Russia. They needed a logo and packaging. After all, they were unconventional dolls: sometimes whole weeks were spent on matching the necessary colour shades for dresses and selecting stylish shoes and buttons. They were filled with fondness for the hobby, inexhaustible imagination and desire to create. The brand logo was designed in the traditional Hand Made style, featuring hand drawing, natural colours, along with the tradition of comfort, homeliness and warmth.
‘The designer’s helpful tips and common vision of the goal quickly led us to the idea that everyone liked. The logo appeared touching and memorable, and, most importantly, we like it just as much over time. This means to me that the work was done excellently. ‘Thanks to Irina and her talented team!’Andrei and Olga Kharitonchuk, the founders of the Four Dolls brand.

Story: 92,000 children in Ukraine live without parents. There are many families who want to become parents for those orphans. But they do not know what to do in order to achieve that right now. They know nothing about the www.sirotstvy.net national adoption portal. ‘Not everyone can adopt a child, but everyone can give them a part of themselves. If you can teach them how to play – just play. If you can teach them how to read – just read. If you can teach them to dream – dream. One game, one word, one day make the world a better place. You can! That’s the keynote idea of the advertising campaign in support of orphans, which involved famous players of FC Shakhtar.
In May 2015 in New York, the project won the Gold and Grand Prizes in the Integrated Advertising Campaign category of the most high-profile international communication and design contest called The International Competition Honouring Outstanding Achievement in Design Communications Astrid 2015. The awards were received for the advertising campaign of the Play Like Shakhtar! Live With an Open Heart social project. The panel of judges featured about 70 leading companies in the field of design, finance, industry and commerce, alongside 50 renowned designers and creative directors from over 30 countries. We challenged for the award together with BMW Group, Henkel AG, Daimler AG, AUDI AG, Volkswagen AG, Lufthansa, MasterCard, Wall Street Journal, Walmart and we won it.

Story: Ukrainian Minerals Group is a holding boasting an impressive list of products. UMG operates in the commodity and industrial areas handling a huge product portfolio - clay, limestone, dolomite, industrial gases, agricultural products, fertilizers... This explains its uniqueness and promoting issues.
How can one describe completely different business lines of the holding company through using image advertising products? We experimented for quite a while searching through formats and visual methods, and stopped at the old good illustration. Each sheet in a calendar describes a certain type of products, which, as it turned out, surround human beings everywhere. Flat illustration with a description of the holding company’s produce through consumer emotions is quite a bold move for such a high-profile business. We described it in simple and clear terms.
‘Irina, many thanks for your work. The ability to perceive colour, textual and compositional harmony is a talent. You are a professional in your field! The work is always carried out in a quality, creative and timely manner. Thank you for your attention, patience and understanding,’Natalya Lerit, PR department head at UMG Holding.

Story: Every woman wants to preserve youth and beauty. The owner of the Intelligent Beauty brand is a true fan of ‘conscious beauty’. She does not believe the myths about glossy beauty. She checks the cosmetics composition on each label. She studies the medical research on women's health. She is ready to travel across Europe only to meet and talk to a beauty expert in Geneva or Paris. Her lady friends follow her advice. She has obtained so much information that it's time to share it. She realized that she could take on the responsibility for combating marketing myths imposed by advertising. In the above fashion the Intelligent Beauty brand came into existence. Our team deliberately chose a provocative strategy of communication with the audience: ‘Take off your mask! Think! Save what is given by nature!’

Story: Trading. A dream job. Many people think like that. The film industry makes money producing the movies, in which traders are driving Bentleys and enjoy their breakfast at the villas overlooking the ocean. Speakers sell seminars ‘How to make a million a week while working in the garden.’ Web portals invite thousands of people to get rich quickly every second. Those who have been in the profession for 20 years, know the truth: every day people struggle with themselves, with very few of them winning the battle globally. Human emotions and the market. Who wins? This is an owner project of the trader having 20 years of experience. Talking about money without emotions. Calmly and competently. When creating the blog design, we took into account the thoughtful attitude of the project owner to the psychology of emotion and professional investment.
‘We did not expect the Ukrainian designer to be able to solve this visual task. Since America is considered to be the birthplace of trading. It was a productive cooperation leading to dramatic results’Victor Newman, futures trader and founder of ITrader.TV
