Elena Gurchinskaia
Designer
Austin, TX, USAHello, I'm Elena, a versatile creative professional based in Austin, Texas. With over 10 years of experience as an Immersive Experience Visual Designer, I have excelled in visually communicating environments through architectural and interior design visualization.
I hold a Master's Degree from St. Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design, where my major was in Environmental Design. Traditional painting and drawing were a significant part of my curriculum, nurturing my growth as a professional artist. Visual aesthetics are my passion, and over time, I have evolved my traditional art skills by embracing new and emerging technologies.
Recently, I decided to expand my horizons and am currently studying full-stack development. This exciting transition allows me to combine my artistic background with cutting-edge technical skills. As a result, I now have the expertise to create not only photorealistic renderings, video animations, virtual reality experiences, motion graphics, and illustrations but also immersive and interactive digital solutions.
Visualizations continue to be my key-value add to projects, enabling designers and clients to identify potential design and construction issues swiftly and make informed decisions. By integrating full-stack development into my toolkit, I now have the power to bring even more dynamic and engaging experiences to life.
I'm enthusiastic about collaborating on innovative projects that marry creativity and technology. Let's work together to bring your vision to reality with a blend of artistic finesse and technical expertise. Reach out, and let's embark on a journey of boundless creativity and innovation!
