Branding ISKRA:
A New Playlist for Yandex Music

Developing ISKRA’s identity, I transformed the concept of emerging artists into a bold, dynamic visual language. What started as a playlist grew into a full-scale project supporting young musicians, reaching millions and shaping the future of new talent.

Spotify’s Launch

Spotify’s Launch
in Russia

In 2020, Spotify made one of its most successful market entries by expanding into Russia.

The launch project was a seamless blend of strategy and creativity. I was deeply involved in creating and designing extensive content across various formats, including OOH and digital.

This campaign not only resonated with the audience but also marked a significant milestone in Russia's music landscape. We redefined how music streaming represents itself through both listeners and artists.

The First Russian Artist on Times Square’s Billboard

The First Russian Artist on Times Square’s Billboard

I was fortunate to develop the concept, design, and animation for a significant moment in music history.

In 2020, Tchaikovsky became the most-streamed Russian artist outside Russia, and Spotify celebrated with a Times Square billboard. The campaign received widespread media coverage, marking a major milestone.

I led and worked on the designs for all of Spotify’s year-end campaigns with my team at KB-12. At the time, we didn’t know that Wrapped 2021 would be the last for Russia and several other countries we created campaigns for. That’s why I’m especially grateful to have contributed to making this campaign bold and successful.

challenge

to communicate Rockstar’s new positioning across multiple markets through dynamic, engaging content that felt native to modern audiences.

We brought the concept to life with six fast-paced, TikTok-style commercials, capturing the shift from boring self to energized Rockstar mode.

Hey there, I'm Anna!


I’ve spent the past 8+ years working in advertising, branding and marketing communications. Along the way, I’ve combined research skills with a strong visual sense to create design solutions that engage people and help businesses grow.


Over the years, I’ve worked on campaigns recognized by EFFIE, Silver Mercury, Red Apple, and other industry awards. But what matters most to me is the impact good design can have — whether it’s changing how something is perceived, solving a real problem or simply making someone’s day a little better.


I value teams where creativity is respected, people inspire each other and the work feels meaningful.


Creative energy, good people and ideas that matter — always up for that!

Over the years, I’ve worked on projects that received recognition from EFFIE, Silver Mercury, Red Apple and more. But the most rewarding part has always been seeing how thoughtful design can genuinely make a difference — whether it’s millions reached or a quiet moment of clarity for the viewer.

I’ve also had the chance to support and grow design teams — hiring, setting up processes, and occasionally organizing meetups to share ideas and grow together.


I’m looking for a team where creativity is valued, where we can challenge each other, learn and create work that matters. Let’s connect!
