Khian Grakowskyβ’
βKhain Grokowskyβ approached me to art direct their brand and social media presence. In addition to defining the visual language, I developed the narrative framework behind both the brand and the Khain Grokowsky persona, shaping tone, identity, and storytelling across digital platforms. Created a body of work ranging from metal sculptures to digital image-making. Physical pieces were assembled from scrap materials using soldering and hot glue, alongside logos and graphic identities developed in Photoshop and After Effects. The project expanded into abstract motion work created in Maya and TouchDesigner, exploring the relationship between material, form, and digital translation. No AI or generative tools were used in any part of the process.
Khain Grokowsky β Persona Study
As part of developing the narrative behind the Khain Grokowsky persona, I imagined him as a Russian designer who disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only his laptop and fragmented self-portraits.
In response, I created a police-style composite sketch, rendered in pastel and physically sanded to soften and erode the imageβreinforcing themes of absence, ambiguity, and constructed identity.
Khain Grokowsky β Abstract Self-Portrait
An abstract sculptural self-portrait of the Khain Grokowsky persona, inspired by the verticality and symbolism of Gothic church architecture. Constructed from found metal scraps collected in the studio and assembled through soldering and hot glue, the piece merges fragmented forms into a singular, symbolic body.

Grakowsky βArchesβ
While exploring shape language for the Khian Grakowsky logo, I created this sculpture using metal scraps, bolts, and spray-painted foam. The object functioned as a three-dimensional sketchβan exercise in balance, tension, and silhouetteβallowing forms to be tested physically before being translated into graphic identity.
