I'm Vlad. A designer and engineer based in Vancouver.

I design and build products, websites, and identity systems. Currently working with The Tom Agency on brand and product work, and growing Forbidden Studio, my own experimental design practice. Also writing here monthly.

I pick function over form because form is part of function. And I believe every detail should have a reason, even if the reason is "it just looks good."

Outside the work: I climb, run, shoot photos, draw, brew coffee, read books, explore what gets me excited, and try to put something wonderful in the world.
