bio
I was born in Ukraine a year before the Chernobyl incident. Escaped the USSR block when the "perestroyka" started with my family to Bolivia, where I finished my shooling. Went back to Ukraine for my higher education, where after a couple of really difficult months making my mind about the future I wanted to follow, I decided to pursue the environmental engineering career, as a way to be useful in this planet. While studiying I worked as a securities daytrader for a russian financial firm for 5 years (a short career that ended with the financial crisis of the 2008-10). Once I got my masters degree I went back to Bolivia for environmental reasons (Ukraine is a pretty heavily polluted country) and resided here since then. I managed to work in my professional field for 2 years and decided to stop because of ethical misunderstandings with the local environmental policies. Since then I've been living from graphical design, photography and social media services, rediscovered my artistic side, joined a theater team, started to paint and play some instruments as well as singing. Participated in various activist causes (mostly of environmental character, but I'm pretty active in any "unfair" issue). Currently looking for ways of developing and expressing my artistic nature
