Natasha Gavrilova

I was born in Siberia in the beautiful city of Novosibirsk.

To master my craft, I entered the Omsk State Institute of Service, Art & Technology, which is acknowledged as one of the best design schools in Siberia. My specialization was fashion design.

I graduated in 1999 and joined the OFFSET Publishing House in Novosibirsk to work as a graphic designer. A year later, I founded the ZIP-ART Fashion Company along with a team of young designers. ZIP-ART designs and produces a line of casual clothing for the youth market. As the Art Director of ZIP-ART, I had a wonderful opportunity to implement my ideas in designing textiles, clothes, advertisement products, and fashion catalogs. One of the most exciting projects was to create ZIP-ART's corporate style from scratch. My work there was very fruitful. Despite my move to Moscow I still continue to cooperate with ZIP-ART.

After moving to Moscow in 2003, I joined Polyantseff Creative Boutique and worked there as an Art Director. The company specialized in advertising and fashion design.

Half a year later I received a challenging offer from the rapidly growing SAMOS Fashion Group, where I am currently an art director. At SAMOS, I've developed the company's identity and advertising strategy. I am currently responsible for designing SAMOS's products, fashion catalogs and advertising brochures. I also stage photo sessions and fashion shows, contribute to the interior design of the company's stores, participate in fashion design, and arrange SAMOS exhibition booths. I find it very rewarding to contribute to the success of such a dynamic company.

In addition my work at SAMOS, I also do freelance graphic design for other clients.

I love crazy creative projects, non-standard ways of thinking, courage, honesty, and independence. I enjoy living a full life and being aware of the events happening in today's world. I don't like routine and monotony, foolishness, idle talk, conflicts, and gossip. I believe that there are no unreachable goals. I look forward to new productive and creative collaborations, and I hope that my ideas and views are of interest to other people.
