Hi! My name is Nikita. I’m a Visual Effects and CGI artist specializing in compositing, animation, rotoscoping, camera tracking, green-screen removal, and CGI integration. I work with Nuke, Blender, Mocha Pro, SynthEyes, and Silhouette, building complete VFX pipelines from raw footage to final polished frames. Whether it’s integrating CGI elements into live-action, creating cinematic logo animations, performing clean object removals, or delivering seamless chroma keying — I make sure every shot looks clean, realistic, and professionally finished. I focus on precision, detail, and smooth visual integration. I’m actively growing my portfolio and ready to take on projects involving VFX cleanup, CGI animation, matchmoving, compositing, and high-quality roto.

I help brands kick ad fatigue in the A** and make customers identify with the brand, not just the product. Most copywriters these days call themselves “word wizards”. Way to tell the client you are going to pull a Houdini and disappear when things get tough. My approach is a little different. Anyone can take a brief, feed it to AI, and get a couple of ads written for you. Very few can help you find new angles, ad scaling strategy, and help grow your brand identity at the same time. Why my ads work: Strong strategy is the difference between a profitable campaign and a money pit. I know how to blend psychology, humor, storytelling, and direct response to make your ads feel fresh, relatable, and impossible to ignore. With a background in face to face sales, I understand how to influence decisions and get someone to take action. My ad copy makes prospects smile, nod, feel understood, or laugh before they click. If you want ads that perform, mesmerize your audience, and make them crave every product you offer.. send me a message! Drew P.S. - Check out my CV under my projects!
