My name is Nadiia Leshchenko, and I am currently a Content Producer at The Gate, specializing in graphic design, motion design, and video editing. In addition to my professional work, I am pursuing personal projects in 2D animation.
I have always been fond of drawing, but my journey began in a different direction — I first graduated from a music college as an orchestral violinist. Not fully satisfied with focusing solely on music, I pursued a bachelor’s degree in audiovisual arts and production, complemented by academic drawing courses. During my studies, I explored animation, video editing, graphic design, and motion design. At the same time, I started freelancing, primarily working on graphic design and illustration projects. Over time, everything began to align, leading me to roles as a multiplatform designer at Konsort and an illustrator/animator at 7030 Studios. After the war in Ukraine began, I relocated to Scotland and joined The Gate, a creative agency, where I continue to integrate my expertise in visual and auditory arts. Nowadays, I’m a versatile content producer, working with Adobe Suite and other programs such as TV Paint, Figma, and Procreate. I have also completed a course in 2D animation and am currently pursuing a one-year course in Animation Direction to further enhance my skills in the field of animation.
