Maksim Koloskov

Maksim Koloskov

After graduating from Moscow Architectural Institute (MArchI) with master’s degree in architecture, I moved to the United States in 1995 and settled in Houston. I started working as designer with Gensler and later with the Rottet Studio, where hand sketching and quick renderings were always my tools of choice for presenting ideas and conveying design intent. While still working on my own projects, I was also getting requests for renderings and got involved with that as a separate business.

My illustrations helped clients win competitions, secure projects, and gain approval from city councils as well as secure funding for organizations and foundations. Working with art directors, photographers, and branding agencies, I have contributed illustrations for national and international ad campaigns and branding strategies.
