YARYNA KOZEL
I’m Yara, a Kyiv/Amsterdam based creative communicator working at the intersection of visual culture, event creation, branding, writing, video, community projects, and dance.
MY BACKGROUND
is diverse. I worked both independently and within corporate teams [investment, AI startups, fashion and independent artists]. Moving between these worlds allows me to work with structure and discipline, without becoming rigid. I’m comfortable across the full process, developing concepts, producing and working hands-on with both digital and physical tools.
COMMUNICATION IS LUBRICATION
I like to think of communication as an invisible force that keeps everything moving. What and how we communicate shapes perception, influencing how ideas are understood and transformed into something real. Living in different countries has expanded my cross cultural understanding of processes and connected me with amazing people, who shaped my growth.
AS A CREATIVE
I work with senses, choosing the format that best serves the idea. My practice moves between physical and digital environments: events, merchandise, photography, video, branding, and creative collaborations. I often work across the full cycle of projects, from concept and narrative to production and community building, finding the right form for each idea.
