I do not have any design background. We have started with electronic music and generative visuals that then brought us to creation of our own studio. My role was to work on the design side and so I some how naturally developed my skills.
Inty was found in 2010 and operates as a full service agency. Studio can deliver the project workflow beginning from an idea and a concept to a full implementation on a venue. There are around 30 people in our studio - concept team, design team, logic team, technical team, project management team. Most often we work with exhibition spaces and trade fairs. That is why studio also deliver architecture and interior design.
We do all our CG production in realtime. Ventuz is our main tool at the moment. We also use Unity and Unreal Engine, but not so often.
We have a special workflow to work together as one united organizm. For example we widely use virtual setups. We use them as a tool for artists and designers. It makes CG production very effective and easy. Designers do not need to dive into rendering settings and project architecture. Also these setups are very useful for client meetings to show current results.
This year we started new internal projects - Inty Lab and Internship. Inty Lab is a room where we can play around with equipment and new technologies. Internship is a learning platform with lectures and full day workshops where students can increase their level of knowledge and understanding of interactive installations.

It something that looks great and delivers the idea with very natural and easy way.
Abstarct style installations in the interior with simple shapes and structures. I like to pay much attention to details.
My favourite design project is a "Seed Cathedral". I like the idea, the design and the simplicity. It is a masterpiece.
I do all the design work in Ventuz. It is a real-time 3D engine made for interactive solutions. I like it because it is very flexible - you can work in 3D scence, program the behavior of the elements, create animations and do interface design in a very quick and easy way. And it is real-time, that means you - you see what you do in 60 fps.
When I am inspired by something beautiful or when I get the energy from my friends. Also I feel very creative after a break for traveling into the wild.
It is hard to say, but I like to work with particles, small but noticeable details and structure of the scene space.
I usually feel stoned and uplifted at the same time.
I feel very curious about how does the design look on the real installation.

I think, the designer should be always attentive to the target audience, because this is a real consumer of what the designer is doing.
Do not have any idea on that. I can just see that everything is changing to a more minimalistic, bright and freaky style. I personally like that.
For me it usually comes from the works of other people. A lot of them inspire me much. On the first steps it helps me to create something and then I work on my own design rules that would appear in the process.
I like when everything is structured to some spatial or color rules. I do not have any design background so I can somehow call my style a bit experimental. I think I do many mistakes when I design, but after some time it finally looks nice.
For me, the world is united, especially when it comes to a sphere of mind and creative things. I do not notice any cultural heritage on myself. I think real heritage and influence come from climate features of the place, where designer lives.
It is hard to give an advice. It is all about the human relations and skills. I would say that there are two main things - designer should have a good visual feeling and he/she should be a nice guy.
