MENSHIKOVA
Art director & Illustrator, Los Angeles
Mariia Menshikova is a Los Angeles-based art director and illustrator working across film, advertising, and motion design. With a distinct visual voice rooted in texture, narrative, and cultural nuance, her work spans everything from cinematic campaigns to 3D narrative promos — balancing grit with elegance at every turn.
She’s collaborated with leading studios and brands including A24, Amazon, Blizzard Entertainment, Riot Games, and Acura, contributing to high-concept campaigns for The Witch, Midsommar, Suspiria, The Lighthouse, MEN, Mank, Hereditary, Saint Maud, and The Alienist. Her ability to marry bold storytelling with design & illustration precision has made her a trusted creative partner across the industry.
Raised between Ukraine and Russia, Mariia has lived and worked in the UK and The Netherlands before settling in the U.S., bringing a global sensibility to every project. Her multidisciplinary background in typography, illustration, and design informs a collaborative, pop-culturally fluent approach that elevates the teams she works with.
She’s been nominated for an ADC Young Guns award (courtesy of David O’Reilly), and her work has appeared in The New Republic, Slanted Magazine, The Creator’s Project, Design Collector, Supersonic Art, Shoutout LA, Canvas LA, and POW!WOW! Worldwide. Her illustrations have exhibited internationally — including shows in Tokyo and Moscow — and she’s been invited to speak at institutions such as OTIS College of Art and Design.
