About
From a single key visual to a campaign, film or event, I lead the creative work and coordinate its delivery.
I’m Alex Butakov, an art director and multidisciplinary creative based in Barcelona.
I develop ideas, build visual systems and take projects through production — working hands-on and bringing in the right specialists for each brief.
Barcelona · Available worldwide
Art direction. Hands-on craft. Full production.
BRAND DESIGN
Brand identities built to work in the real world. From logos and typography to brand guidelines, packaging and digital assets, I develop visual systems that remain clear and consistent across every required format.
$2,999
DIGITAL DESIGN
Digital experiences with a clear idea behind them. I design websites, landing pages, interfaces and interactive prototypes, then connect the visual direction with the practical requirements of production and implementation.
$3,599
CAMPAIGNS & PRODUCTION
Creative direction for campaigns, films and live experiences. I define the concept, plan the production and coordinate the specialists required across design, motion, 3D, video and AI filmmaking — from the first visual direction to the final assets.

Creative Thinking Ecosystem
A broad practice. One coherent result.
Each point on this map represents real experience — several successfully completed projects, not just a skill name.
Together they form an ecosystem of creative thinking, where art, design, and strategy connect seamlessly with production and direction.
This mix allows me to take ideas from concept to impact — creating projects that are clear, memorable, and alive.
Working with me means working with someone who understands the full path: from the spark of an idea to its execution.

Practice
I take responsibility
for the complete creative path.
That can mean developing the idea and producing the work myself, or defining the approach, assembling a team and leading the project through production.
For every brief, I clarify the objective, define the deliverables, identify the required specialists and establish a practical workflow around the creative direction.
The work is reviewed at key stages — concept, development, production and finishing — so that the final result stays aligned with the original idea, the audience and the business goal.
