The person behind the work

Creative director. Hands-on designer.

I like the big idea.
And the small details.

I’m Art, a creative director and hands-on designer based in Vilnius, Lithuania. I have 14+ years of experience across branding, design, advertising and campaign development.

I connect creative thinking with execution: developing the idea, designing the work and understanding how it becomes a campaign people actually see and receive.

My experience spans independent studios, international clients and in-house creative and marketing work. Today that includes brand and digital design, CRM campaigns and practical AI-assisted production.

My curiosity extends to the systems behind the work: Codex, AI model workflows, server setup and Apple-based creative environments. I enjoy understanding the tools as much as using them.

Away from the work, I’m a husband, dog-father, sportsman and Star Wars fan. Curiosity tends to follow me home.
