A little about me

From architecture to project & operations leadership.

My professional journey began in architecture in 2008. At Architectural Bureau S. Babushkin, established by my father Sergiy Babushkin in Kyiv in 1989, I progressed from architect to project development manager and operational director, bringing multidisciplinary teams together to deliver residential, commercial, and public projects.

My international experience spans industrial and reconstruction projects in Germany, real estate and client management at in Spain, and architectural project management at young and experienced studios. Along the way, I’ve developed a practical approach to stakeholder coordination, contracts, budgets, and more efficient workflows.

Today, I bring a Master’s degree in Architecture & Design, a background in teaching, and fluency in English, Spanish, and Ukrainian to my work. Based in Ireland, I connect creative thinking with structured delivery - helping people, projects, and ideas move forward.

Based in Ireland · Experience across Ukraine, Germany & Spain
