Slipmat design for Audio-Technica

In March 2022, a month since the war in Ukraine started, Audio-Technica, one of my favourite brands, reached out to me and offered to collaborate on a project — a custom slipmat design for their turntables. They wanted to help our humani- tarian needs with this project and suggested giving the proceeds from selling these slipmats to chariies of my choice.

Yeah, imagine that — I get to work with one of my most beloved brands, show the world a bit of our culture, meet new people, make art (which I love by the way) AND raise money for charity? This was indeed a dream job.

With this, I want to proudly present to you my latest project — my slipmat design for Audio-Technica. This is a limited edition print with a unique Ukrainian-themed design calebrating our national art style with a modern twist. The money raised from this project will be split between two organisations: UAnimals, who are helping to shelter and protect animals during the war, and Ohmatdyt, a children's hospital in the heart of Kyiv which was bombed during the first days of the war.
