I am an artist, graphic/web designer and college educator.

I was born in Russia, lived in Russia and Ukraine and came to America with my family when I was 39. I studied academic art and graphic design at the Kiev Institute of Graphic Design in Ukraine and graduated with a degree in graphic design. After moving to New York, I received a BA in multimedia design.

I had to start from the scratch, starting with learning the new language, graduating from college, and pursuing my career. It was difficult, but everything is possible if you work hard toward your goal.

What I love – I love my family. I love animals, especially my cats. I love art and everything around it. I love nature, and I miss snow. I love learning, I always learn something new, including new skills. I love teaching, giving my knowledge and my skills to students. I love my students, and still in contact with many of my former students.

I believe in people. I believe that everybody is talented in one way or another, no exceptions.

I believe that if we want to achieve something, we will if we really work on it.

The proof – the last achievement is the book on which my daughter and I work for 7 (!) years.

It was hard, but here is the result:  http://morethanborsch.com
