Hey.I’m Ksenia. Nice to meet you. I’m a designer, illustrator and art director based in Philadelphia. My experience spans both boutique design studios and in-house tech companies. I’ve led rebrands for institutions like The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and shaped smaller projects for brands like Figma. In my free time, I bake canelés. They sound like cannolis, but they’re far more nuanced — and that difference matters.
Loyola University of MarylandJunior Search Piece Concept / Design / IllustrationLoyola University, a Jesuit liberal arts school, invited us to rethink the traditional junior search piece. Instead of conventional admissions materials, we created a three-part newsprint series delivered one chapter at a time—exploring the student, the university and the kind of person the world needs now. Grounded in research into prospective students’ values and aspirations, the piece leans poetic and conceptual rather than informational. Each page reads like a standalone poster, designed to surprise, provoke and invite reflection.
