I like it clear, direct and full of ideas.

Clarity happenswhen designstarts to play

Hi, I’m Semjon.

I’m a Senior Art Director and UX/UI Designer based in Hamburg. I believe playful exploration can lead to clarity. With colours, shapes, spaces and ideas that do not quite know where they want to go yet.
