In web design, illustration and marketing, Antonina has forged an international reputation as a gifted and diligent visionary. She marries a marketing brain with an artistic soul, making her a key player in the graphic design realm. As comfortable with pens, oils and pastels as she is with brand identity design, corporate presentations and avant-garde digital techniques, this versatile artist has truly mastered the modern industry. Often working through the night, it is said she consumes 3.5 cups of tea per day.

life & education

Born in the USSR, Antonina moved to California as a child and learned to speak like a local. This ability to mimic served her well at the Laguna College of Art and Design, where she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration & Graphic Design. Later, she took a post-grad course in Photography of Architecture and Urban Spaces at the Universidad de Palermo.

 

In her down time, you will find her crafting oil paintings, experimenting with innovative artistic techniques or strolling through the art galleries of Buenos Aires.
