UAE Screenlife Accelerator Program

The Screenlife Accelerator in the UAE is an intensive program for young directors developing projects in the screenlife format. Participants receive mentorship support, master digital tools and storytelling, and also gain access to international professional connections.

As part of the program, I participated in conducting a master class and prepared educational materials covering the stages of pre- and post-production for screenlife films. I compiled a knowledge base on existing design systems in interfaces, libraries, and UI kits. I also shared assets that speed up the animation process for certain interface patterns.

I also helped assemble teasers for the pitch decks of two young directors, one of which received the green light (Dana Itani — “Just My Type”).

Created a title card for the pitch.

In the project, I worked as a screenlife art director during the previsualization and post-production stages. I was responsible for the visual design of the interfaces: I assembled all the screen graphics and handled related graphic design (logos, etc.). I also partially worked on motion design and led the team of motion designers — helping solve complex tasks, assembling assets, mentoring, and organizing the workflow. During production, I also handled numerous organizational and technical issues efficiently.

All interfaces in the film were built in Figma (Components, Auto Layouts, Global Variables, more than 1,000 interface states), along with Illustrator for graphics and After Effects for animation.

Additionally, I designed the release poster, which was selected for the Poster Design Competition at SXSW 2025.

I worked on the project as a UI designer during post-production, assembling all interfaces in Figma with resizable window functionality. Most of the interfaces were built using components and auto layouts.

I worked as an Art Director during post-production, assembling all interfaces and generating images using Stable Diffusion with custom LoRAs created specifically for this film.

On the project, I worked as a UI designer, but also did some motion design, created interactive prototypes, and made some visuals. I also designed YouTube thumbnails.

Design, motion

On the project, I worked as a UI designer, assembling part of the interfaces for the vertical version, creating sticker packs and promotional materials (website and more), as well as some motion graphics. I also designed the poster for the Okko online cinema release.

Stickerpack for Telegram

Despite the project’s age (production started in 2019, and I joined in the fall of 2019), the sticker pack I created (together with Olya Khristuk) is still being used by people. As of October 2025:

I conducted research looking for interesting paintings of hands from the Renaissance era.
