  • I have worked with Olena on several projects at Time Based Arts as Creative Director and I could always count on her to elevate each one. She is a sharp-eyed concept artist with great taste and is a pleasure to work with. The work involved many rounds of comments and refinement, and Olena was always a great energy to have on the team in that process.

Not only had she shown exceptional professional ethics, but every team she worked in benefited from her easy-going and cheerful personality.
