RESUME
OLHA VILCHYNSKA
Hello! I'm a digital media artist/designer that started a professional career in 2011. For the most part of my career I was employed full-time as an in-house artist; although I was lucky to have had full control over artistic direction and worked directly with clients, later I started to shift to more independent projects.

Throughout my career I was exploring new ways to apply my skills and taking on some freelance projects - from billboard adds to children's book illustration. My most recent exploration is incorporating my art into electronic games. After completing two very small games I am now confident to take upon a bigger project,
one that is well thought out.
