Anastasia Usatova ist am 28. Juli 1988 in Taschkent, Usbekistan geboren. Aus der Familie, in der Kunst und Kreativität sehr geschätzt wird. Seit Kindheit kannte sie mir ein Leben ohne Design, Malerei, Musik, Poesie und kreative Prozesse nicht vorstellen. Dieser Einfluss hat ihre Berufswahl ausgemacht, so dass sie 2006 nach Moskau gegangen bin um Grafikdesign zu studieren. Seit 2012 ist sie diplomierte Grafikdesignerin (Stroganov Moskauer Staatliche Akademie für Kunst und Industrie) und arbeitet mit Kunden aus verschiedenen Bereichen wie Theater, Musik, Tanz, und Mode in Moskau.
In ihrem beruflichen Werdegang hat sie festgestellt, dass Grafikdesignkunst grenzenlos von der Leinwand in den Medienraum übergeht.
Jetzt ist sie in Berlin lebende Künstlerin und Grafikdesignerin, die in den Bereichen Grafik, Fotografie, Film und Medien tätig ist, spezialisiert auf Logos und Corporate Identity, Social Poster und Illustrationen für Bücher.

Eager to explore new world views, ideologies, mindsets...For me, the most exciting thing is the attempt of a single person or group of individuals to interpret the interdependencies between “fragments”, thereby constructing their own version of the world. I am also highly interested in trying to understand innovation, AI, social media logic, data science, and the crypto "movement" as well as their effects on society or even on humanity as a whole. I strongly believe that a cross-functional collaboration between multiple disciplines and approaches is crucial to attain a deeper understanding of our society and to "construct" a sustainable future for humanity. "The more I learn, the less I know." and "I know that I know nothing." (Socrates) – these famous and true words may seem discouraging at first but can be a huge motivator as well. In this spirit, I will continue studying, working towards a more nuanced understanding of society’s complexities…and who knows, maybe one day…

She has work experience in various sectors including: hospitality, hotel industry, market research (call center), fashion industry, language teaching, translations, childcare, educational support, logistics, banking (for many years), kitchen-design, real-estate, management consulting, social media marketing and online journalism (mostly in chronological order). The interdisciplinary approach/outlook on life and the possibility to be able to gain diverse experiences are the most important things for Lucy. In her free time she loves to do improvisation theater, to go for a hike with her dogs and to visit diverse modern art galleries.
