Margarita Volfson is a graphic designer, photographer, artist and a film maker with a wide range of other creative skills. Born into a musical family, her love for art and music developed at an early age. She began to draw faces and landscapes with a pencil at the age of 4, and study violin and play piano by ear before she even entered the first grade. Her later creative successes included: professional theatre acting, public speaking, painting, directing plays, screenwriting, filmmaking and editing. Her passion for photography was discovered after college, and had to be inspired by one of the most talented professional photographers: her grandfather Grigory. Moreover, it was her close relationship with her grandparents and the experience caring for them when they were ill, what had a profound impact on her life, and what brought on even more creative inspiration. To keep their bright and shining memory alive, she felt compelled to make her first professional short documentary called In Heaven And In Our Hearts, broadcast on a Russian Television Network's program "Contact" in January, 2010. She was also invited to be the subject of this one hour live program for the second time to present her creative achievements.

Some of Margarita's other artistic accomplishments uncluded: having her photos featured at the Jacob Javits Center Photo District News Expo in 2007,  published on the covers of Young Audiences New York programs and displayed on the big screens of their fundrasing benefit events and having her illustration published in the newspaper "Forum". Film score composition was Margarita's most recent creative realization when in 2009 she was hired to write a musical score for an independent film.  It's been years since she first became fascinated with the arts. But today, Margarita finds that having a wide range of all these creative outlets contributes tremendously to success in her graphic design, web design, photography and film projects.
