I design brands and event experiences that help big ideas show up clearly, whether they are on a stage, on a screen, or spread across an entire venue.
Hi, I’m Vlad. I’ve spent more than 15 years solving visual problems, building brand systems, and figuring out how a lot of different pieces can feel like one cohesive experience.
These days, I’m part of the design team at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Much of my work is focused on events, where I help turn a central idea into everything people see and experience. That can include the event identity, stages, screens, signage, presentations, motion, and all the smaller details that hold it together.
The Chamber has given me the opportunity to work on a wide range of events, each with its own audience, personality, and set of constraints. Some projects move quickly, while others grow into larger visual systems. I enjoy both. There is something satisfying about seeing an idea move from a small screen into a real space filled with people.
Before the Chamber, I led brand and marketing design at Morning Consult. I worked across campaigns, reports, websites, motion, and events, often translating complex data into stories that were easier to understand and more interesting to look at.
Earlier in my career, I spent nearly a decade at Cvent, where I grew from Graphic Designer to Lead Visual Designer in UX. I helped develop brand guidelines, contributed to the company’s design system, and worked across digital products and physical experiences. I also art directed three Cvent CONNECT conferences in Las Vegas, which is where my interest in large-scale event design really took hold.
Across all of those roles, the part I enjoy most has stayed pretty consistent. I like untangling complicated problems, finding the idea that brings everything together, and building visual systems that other people can actually use. I enjoy leading the work, but I still like getting into the files and making things.
Outside of design, I’m usually reading about technology, cars, cities, Star Wars, or spaceflight. I travel whenever I can, spend a lot of time exploring cities, and am almost always teaching myself something new.
I was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States when I was 12. Learning how to adapt to a completely new place shaped the way I approach both work and life. Stay curious, pay attention, and keep figuring things out.
