Dima is a rare mix of strategic thinking, hands-on execution, and artistic vision—able to shape a narrative, build a campaign, or design an experience that truly resonates. He jumps in wherever needed, often wearing multiple hats to keep us moving forward.
Dima is the kind of teammate every company wishes they had—committed, creative, and adaptable to any challenge. He contributes in meaningful ways, often bringing fresh, imaginative solutions when others feel stuck.
Dima has been a powerhouse at getting Performica in front of the right people. His creativity, hustle, and ability to connect message to growth have been huge.
Dima brings creativity, strategy, and a deep understanding of human experience to everything he does, whether it’s shaping a brand’s identity or crafting a visual story. I’ve seen firsthand how his work elevates brands and makes an impact.

about me
I specialize in helping high-growth brands launch, clarify, and scale through emotionally intelligent storytelling.
Whether it’s shaping investor narrative, building inclusive visual systems, or leading story development in conflict zones, I always come back to one question: how do we make people feel something—and act on it?
If your story matters and clarity is critical, I’d love to help tell it.

& Content
From Silicon Valley to the UN, I’ve led emotionally intelligent, visually distinctive work across campaigns, onboarding, and digital experiences—blending clarity, empathy, and business relevance.

I help brands find their voice and sharpen their edge—especially during key moments like launch, fundraising, or repositioning. At Performica, I led the strategy that helped secure $3M in funding by aligning our message with both HR and finance leaders.
Storytelling
Across Media
Rooted in photojournalism with MSF/Doctors Without Borders, Associated Press, The New York Times, and the U.S. Army, among many others, my work brings authenticity to brands. My award-winning book Inshallah is in major museum collections.
