I design materials for companies that sell knowledge.
Courses, workbooks, websites and presentations: I turn scattered drafts and Google Docs into one clear system that people actually read.
About me
I’m a 4th-year Design and Programming student at the HSE School of Design. Besides design, I learned to code, so I build websites myself on Tilda, HTML and CSS, with no handover to a developer. But of everything I do, typography is my favourite: I’ve even designed my own typefaces.
What I do
Websites
Personal and company websites, from structure and texts to a live site on Tilda. For experts and small businesses that need to explain what they do.
Long reads
Books, guides, reports and presentations. Long texts laid out so they are easy to navigate and pleasant to read.
Learning materials
Workbooks, handouts and lesson slides for online schools, workshops and team training, built on templates so every new lesson looks like part of one course.
Personal website for Evgeny Butman
Website · Client project · Design and development
Evgeny Butman founded re: Store and has dozens of projects, talks and interviews behind him, but until this site, there was no single place that told his story.
I treated the site as a story rather than a CV, where a visitor moves between who he is and what he can do for them. I designed it and built it on Tilda, with a timeline of his path, forms connected to Telegram and SEO. A dark theme, pink accents as a nod to re: Store and his handwritten signature make it feel personal.
Outcome: the site went live and reached #1 in search for «Evgeny Butman».
Architectural Delusion. Book design
Book · HSE project · Layout and typography
Ask any tourist which bridge is London Bridge, and almost everyone will point at the Gothic towers of Tower Bridge. This book tells the story of the real one, which stands just a kilometre away.
This story is told by pictures as much as by words, so the book needed a firm frame. I designed an 8-column modular grid and a set of typical spreads, from chapter openers to full-page photographs, and built all 84 pages from them. The archive images can run large and change from page to page, while the rhythm of the book stays the same.
Outcome: a complete book, from the cover to the last page, where the design does its job quietly: the reader follows 2,000 years of history without getting lost and finally learns to tell London Bridge from Tower Bridge.
Learning materials for Nalegke online school
Learning materials · In-house · Templates and layout
Nalegke prepares students for the Russian State Exam, and every lesson comes with its own workbook. After a rebrand, the school had a fresh look but only a few sample pages in it, and a whole course of lessons still to make.
I took those pages apart and turned them into a set of reusable blocks: titles, definitions, tables, tasks, tests and diagrams, each with clear rules for spacing, type and colour. Now we build every workbook and lesson slides for Social Studies from these blocks, so a new lesson starts from ready parts and still looks like the rest of the course.
Outcome: a few sample pages grew into a set of templates that holds the whole course together. Now every new lesson looks like it comes from the same school.
I design typefaces, too.
