Irina Batkova — Moscow, Russia

"Working in a studio or agency – in a company that has to maintain staff – it is difficult to avoid the ‘conveyer-belt’ mentality. I love all the stages of creating a concept and then trying to make it work, giving it 100% of my effort. In fact, I became an independent designer to have the freedom to plan my time and tasks in such a way as to fit the most into my working day."
