Graphic and Web Design, Illustration
& Theater Set Design
My name is Masha Ashikhmina and I am a SF Bay Area-based creative, with a passion for finding smart solutions to difficult design challenges in different fields.
My portfolio features a wide array of projects since I’ve been wearing three hats - as a graphic and web designer, an illustrator, and a stage set designer.
I’ve earned my Master Degree in design and illustration in Moscow, Russia and have been working in a graphic design field for more than 15 years.
Currently, I live in San Jose, CA, where I work as a graphic and stage set designer.
I’m available for commissioned based work, collaborative projects and potential employment opportunities.
Feel free to send me a message with your potential project, along with a contactable email address, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
