  Simbaiceberg

  Jan 2008 - now

  Co-founder & content creator

  It's a family business, started by our mom back in 2008; since 2018, my sister Liz and I have run it. When I was 12, a purebred Scottish Straight kitten, Simba, joined our family. He accidentally got us into cat shows and the world of professional cat breeding, which taught me much about marketing our cats. This included learning photo editing, color grading, and compositing, skills that laid the foundation for my career. I also got involved in creating promotional materials, designing, website development, managing social media, and making videos. Working on Simbaiceberg has not only been a significant part of my career but also the starting point where I built my skills in digital marketing and multimedia. Show less

  Photo retouching services by kateryna lebedynska

  Jun 2018 - now

  In 2024, I am transitioning from gig-based freelancing to establishing a business. Over the years, I've built connections with numerous remarkable companies worldwide and contributed to exciting, large-scale projects. For example, I retouched and color graded a large-scale advertorial campaign for Beats by Dre, featuring Jackson Wang. Seeing our collective work showcased on the iconic big screens of Times Square and a billboard in Shanghai was truly fulfilling. With 10+ years of experience under my belt, I am confident in delivering high-quality, customized results to my clients, tailoring visuals for local, European, and Asian markets. Show less
