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.

Queens had the outcomes, reputation, and location to lead, but their story wasn’t breaking through. We translated a renewed positioning into a cohesive brand rollout designed to drive enrollment. Beginning with high-impact recruitment materials and a new digital presence, we developed an integrated visual system that carried consistently across campus, mail, email and online channels, including a collaborative beer can design with a local brewery. The result is a unified brand presence that reflects the ambition of the university and a record-breaking incoming class to match.
