The Team
Volodymyr Shostakovych
CEO of Vova Design, Art director
I'm an experienced graphic designer born in Ukraine, with over two decades of creative expertise. My client base ranges from various startups to fintech companies and online retail stores. My specialties lie in crafting branding, UI/UX, and compelling pitch deck designs. With my assistance, startups such as Concentric.ai and Tortuga.ag have received millions in investments. Additionally, I've worked on branding, print, marketing, and packaging projects for numerous food manufacturers, retailers, fintech companies, and pharmaceutical brands.
​
In 2007, I received a Bronze medal at the KYIV INTERNATIONAL ADVERTISING FESTIVAL—one of Eastern Europe's largest contests—for advertising photography.
​
In 2014, I strategically shifted my focus from the local market to the global arena, aiming to build a clientele in the USA. What began with a single client soon gained momentum through positive word-of-mouth, leading to the establishment of a robust network of American clients within just a few years. My portfolio includes collaborations with a diverse range of clients, from startups to fintech companies and online retail stores. My strengths lie in crafting compelling designs for branding, UI/UX, and pitch decks.
​
I have extensive experience in both team-based and remote work settings. I've played a pivotal role in developing corporate identities for several US startups, including Pinch (acquired by Chime), www.traptic.com, and Root Ventures, spanning from 2017 to 2023. Additionally, I've had the privilege of collaborating with renowned entrepreneurs such as Lee Edwards, Alan Doan, and Maia Bittner.
​
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find immense joy in being a father to two wonderful kids. The decision to leave my homeland was a difficult one, driven by the desire to provide a safe and happy life for my family amidst the challenges of war. It has now been over a year since we settled in the beautiful Corte Madera in the Bay Area, and I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences this new chapter has brought into our lives.

After 7 years in Switzerland's financial sector, I dove headfirst into digital marketing during my time in San Francisco, where I led marketing for a prestigious private school. Now, my passion lies in optimizing websites and crafting impactful email campaigns. With a PR background from banking, I'm dedicated to helping SMEs navigate the digital world. Outside of work, you'll find me boxing, exploring new places, and staying on top of digital trends. Let's team up and make your digital journey an exciting one!
