I have an architectural background, which I gained at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Kyiv, the Technical University of Vienna, and through experience in multiple architectural and urban planning bureaus. While living in Vienna, I became more interested in socially oriented architecture, which I am practicing through curatorial work, educational workshops, art and urban interventions, participatory action research, and institutional development.As a co-founder of several non-profit institutions in Ukraine, I have a deep research and practical interest in grassroots projects and institutions that develop community-led housing and urban development, which are crucial for democratizing society.I am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals and organizations to further the impact of socially driven architectural projects.
