500,000
rubles
That’s the total prize money my students earned in 2024−2026 across competitions like the Mayor’s Prize in Culture and Arts, the Design Transformation Lab, Design Tzeh, and others.
If you factor in the value of non-monetary prizes — such as full-tuition grants for a 4‑year program at Central University, worth about 3.5 million RUB — the number grows tenfold.

Competition Readiness
A contest or hackathon is intense — tight deadlines, emotional pressure, and the challenge of defending your concept in front of an audience. Standard academic workflows don't usually prepare for that. That's why such students follow an additional program — designed specifically to build resilience, presentation skills, and much more
Learning by Doing
All of this is possible because the learning process is structured like a design studio or workshop — not just completing assignments, but engaging in constructive dialogue. Every key semester project is a realistic design challenge. The curriculum is designed so that students graduate equally confident in digital design and branding
Mentorship
Often, students don't need professional advice as much as they need someone who believes in their potential more than they do. That's where I come in – with practical recommendations for structuring presentations, preparing for Q&A sessions, and handling organizational and technical challenges
