Vlada Oleinik is a multidisciplinary designer and artist-researcher. She develops visual languages and design systems, working across brand identity, web design, editorial, and books, moving between client practice and independent artistic work.

For Vlada, design is never purely about visual appeal. It is simultaneously a system and the beauty of the irrational. Vlada combines in her practice deep research and structural approach, leaving space for experiment and unpredictability.

Holds a Bachelor's in Communication Design from the National Research University Higher School of Economics (2019–2023). In 2023 she began moving toward artistic practice, enrolling in the Master's in Art&Science at ITMO University (2023–2025), a program at the intersection of scientific thinking and contemporary art. Since 2025, she has continued both practices in Linz, Austria, as a student of the Interface Cultures Master's program at the University of Art and Design Linz.

Her design practice spans more than six years. She began in 2020 as a graphic designer at EXTREMUM esports team. By 2022 she had become team leader of the design department, taking on responsibility for the art direction and output of the whole team. Since 2022 she has worked as a UI/UX and graphic designer at SCOPE.GG, an analytical service for competitive gaming. She has also collaborated with kidults design agency (2021–2024), contributing to brand and web projects, and with vosk design studio (2023). Since 2023 she has been a collaborating graphic and web designer at Non-Objective studio. Between 2022 and 2024, she was a guest lecturer at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, giving lectures on design and consulting students on their projects.

Vlada values social responsible work. Among the projects she is most committed to: web design work for Libo/Libo podcast studio's investigation into the sexual abuse of underage girls; web design work for Team Against Torture, a Russian human rights organisation that investigates cases of torture and works to combat state violence; and collaboration with the Andrei Sakharov Foundation.

Alongside her commercial routine, she developed ‘nothing to write home about’, a personal research project dedicated to examining everyday life and routine.

Worked with a wide range of cultural, social and innovative institutions. The selected clients: Tools for citizens, IND architects, TonCoin.Fund, Team Against Torture, Project 14.9, Ubani, Chernyi Cooperative, Libo/Libo, BHSAD, Par nik gallery, Archive of Amateur Film Associations, Festival of Invisible Cinema.

In 2025 Vlada with her friends Dima Makhno and Ekaterina Fefilova created design studio ‘verse verse’ focuced on brand identity for cultural institutions.

As an artist, Vlada is a part of m22 art group together with Nail Gainulla. Their practice unfolds across hybrid materialities, through postdigital sculpture, alternative photography, and moving image. m22 situates its artistic and research inquiries within themes such as the misuse of technology and weapons, ecological shifts, anthropogenic influence on Earth’s species, with a particular focus on birds.
