Let's support Ukraine
Introducing Marina Chikhareva: Ukrainian graphic designer and author design services
I first met Marina years ago, when we were both on holiday in Mauritius and by chance stayed in the same hotel. We kept in touch through Facebook, never guessing that Marina would this year be driven from her home in Dnipro, Ukraine, by the current war with Russia.
I’ll let Marina speak for herself as to her design skills:
‘ My name is Marina Chikhareva. I’m a graphic designer from Ukraine, but currently live in Sofia, Bulgaria. I’ve been working as a designer since 2006, after I graduated from university. My experience in graphic design developed in advertising (logos, banners, sketches, brand books, invitations, drawing prints, etc). In recent years I’ve worked more in digital - assets, adverting for social media and print design. I have also produced book designs, from initial idea to print; and packaging design, even socks and a lot of other interesting things!’
Marina’s work is beautiful and wide-ranging. She speaks and writes good English. Below is one of her book designs.
We all want to help Ukraine and its people. Here is one practical way I thought I could help her develop her career internationally, as the prospects of returning to her home and career in Ukraine are not good right now. I know there are a lot of self-published authors looking for good book design and other supportive creative services. Others of you may need a designer as versatile and motivated as Marina!
