I was born in 1989 in country NSW, Australia. Since graduating in 2010 with a Bachelor of Design, I live in Melbourne where I embark on self initiated projects - the most satisfying kind. Most of my exploration is within the fields of collage, illustration, animation and photography. Whilst in Melbourne I also work as a freelance designer to save dollars for overseas adventures. Coming home to Melbourne post-travel only reinforces my appreciation of this city.

Leeza Pritychenko (b.1992) — Graphic Designer/Art Director with interest for VJ-ing, digital art and 3D graphics, currently based in The Hague, The Netherlands. In her work she is enjoying creating as expressive, as minimalistic projects with an eye for subtle yet quirky details; and combining goofiness with dark existentialism, while questioning the habitual reality around us. She wrote bachelor thesis on hoaxes and visual credibility, and did a VR project about hyperreality. She is also interested in possibilities that new media and technologies offer to the field of graphic design and storytelling and vice versa.

I am a filmmaker living in Madrid. I am part of DVEIN, a two-headed director: the other one is called Teo. We do commercials, music videos and film, and we love to experiment. That is why our work is characterized by the hybridization of ideas and techniques with which we merge real and digital in mix-media approached projects. We attempt to explore the limits of live action, animation or CGI on them, and to create our own visual and aesthetic language.
