L’OFFICIEL RU

My career in fashion started at L'Officiel Russia, where I worked as a producer on fashion shoots before advancing to stylist and ultimately fashion editor. Over five years with the magazine, I had the opportunity to produce and style countless editorial shoots and covers, working alongside top-tier talent in fashion's most influential cities—Paris, New York, London, and Milan.

Cosmopolitan UA

As Editor-in-Chief and Art Director of Cosmopolitan, I spearheaded a complete redesign of both our print and digital editions, working hand-in-hand with our global headquarters.

My focus was on modernizing the publication to attract a younger readership while championing inclusivity—bringing in diverse casting for our shoots, producing more local content that highlighted regional talent, and building a team of journalists, photographers, and columnists who truly helped shape the magazine for modern young women.
