Polina Kursheva

Director of Communications

I appreciate that in trademarks every detail matters: a single stroke can change how a brand is perceived. It is fascinating to watch a sketch evolve into a mark people will recognize. The most valuable moment is seeing clients' reactions when they receive their first registered brand. Each case feels like a small investigation, and every project is a new story I am involved in.
