My name is Ilya Sizov. I design websites, digital interfaces, visual identities and communication campaigns that appeal to people. I like thoughtful things that make sense and hit the nerve. For the last decade, I’ve been working with creative agencies and helping product teams to deliver more sense and value to their projects.

Recently, I've been feeling a stronger need to rely on and stick stronger to the things that inspire me. In 2023, I started mapping out aestetics, persons, design and art movements and institutions that support me and give me the sense of purpose.
Gust Recorder is my alias under which I create music and audiovisual art. The multimedia experience “distances of the fugue” and the music video “Tidal currents” are my latest works.
Northiness is an art project in the intersection of videography, choreography, music and fashion. It's dedicated to the fragility of human and the eternity of the nature. In Northiness, I do music and co-curate creative direction.
⬤ Listened
Streaming services are terrible for tracking and cataloguing the music you listen to. That's why since 2024, I've been listing everything that I've listened in a Notion database. And I believe in albums more than in singles.
