Born in 2006, Ostap is a talented product designer and artist from Lviv in Ukraine who draws inspiration from his family's creativity. Following the brutal invasion by russia, which shattered the peaceful life of his homeland, he continues to support Ukraine, specifically aiding the military and Ukrainian soldiers whenever possible. Currently residing in London, Ostap graduated from Kingston College in 2025 with the highest results of D*D*D in 3D Product Design. He has since joined the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, where he is pursuing a BA (Hons) in Product and Industrial Design.
Creativity has always been integral to his life. With a mother who is an artist and a father who is an architect, Ostap was immersed in an environment of art and design from an early age. His grandparents, who were also painters, further strengthened his creative spirit.
From early on, Ostap sought self-expression not only through drawing but also by creating tangible objects. His passion for product design enables him to merge artistry with practical solutions, exploring forms and materials that bring his ideas to life.
Beyond design, Ostap is passionate about philosophy. He seeks to understand the world and finds positivity in all things. Despite occasional negative thoughts common in adolescence, Ostap considers himself an optimist. He questions the meaning of life, human existence, and our purpose in this world.
Ostap is not just an artist and designer but a true explorer of creativity and thought, always seeking new avenues for self-expression and growth. His work embodies a contemporary spirit, blending tradition with innovation. As he continues to learn and evolve, Ostap aims to contribute to the fields of art and product design, inspiring others with his journey.
