I am Yana, a 3D designer and artist born and raised in Buryatia, Russia.
I work in animation, but I am also interested in exploring adjacent fields such as visual arts, installation, and immersive media. Here is my most recent Demo Reel.
Alongside my professional work, I research the history and mystical traditions of Islam, as well as the history of Siberia and its peoples across the past, present, and future.
You can find a random assortment of my musings here. I also publish personal reflections and essays on mysticism at Waterfalls of Qaf.
Check out my Links page for a curated selection of materials I find interesting. It is updated regularly.

If you have a project in mind and are interested in working together, please feel free to contact me at yanazuray@gmail.com, and if you wish to support my work, buy me a coffee.
With love,
