Kirill Simin  was born in St. Petersburg Russia where he attained intensive education in German, English, Physics, Math and Applied Sciences.  After moving to the USA in 1998, Kirill continued with his technical training, working in a microelectronics laboratory in the Electrical Engineering department at the University of South Carolina while pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering. 

Kirill then began his education in the visual arts at the Photography department at USC.  Through this addition to his professional repertoire, he has fused a robust technical background and a photographer’s eye to create a strong portfolio of work and skill in design.  Kirill now develops IT systems and visually striking web pages that meet industry’s growing dependence on multi-media presentation and communication.

In addition to his professional skills, Kirill is bilingual in English and Russian, with high-intermediate competency in German.
