Vicky Knysh was born in Ukraine. She graduated in Fashion Design but never worked in that field. Her career as a web designer brought her to Bulgaria in the early 2000s. Over time, web design began to limit her as she was always more interested in graphics and visual arts. She developed herself as an illustrator and multidisciplinary designer and also spent a year in Rome studying photography. Vicky says that she likes to explore different areas of design to feed her love for the profession and believes that uniformity is a creativity killer.

She currently lives in Dublin, Ireland and for the past 5 years works with great pleasure in the field of motion design and animation.
