I understand basic concepts, but most of the job is on Yaroslav and Polina’s (our marketing expert) shoulders. Y: Producing music, DJ’ing, running my vinyl label, organizing parties and festivals If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be and why? Y: Snoop Dogg If you weren’t so damn good at your job, what else would you be doing? If you could design a package for any streamer, who would it be? Our process is really simple (but we are very good at it!): What are your favorite packages you’ve made to date?ĭescribe your design process for creating theme packages. What inspired you to create your own business?Ībility to have freedom in everything we do. My favorite game is definitely Forza Horizon. Y: Sleep well, eat healthy food, and stay hydrated! What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of design? Do you have a favorite game? If there’s anything you could go back and tell yourself before starting out in this industry, what would it be? Still, it came out that I’ve acquired lots of valuable skills - that’s how my motion design path started. Years passed, and I found myself losing interest in this hobby. Y: More than 10 years ago, when I was still in school, I started making Call Of Duty video edits (I’ve met Mykola and Ivan this way, btw). I’ve been poking Unreal Engine for the last 6 months as well.

Now I’m looking more into concept art and 3D in general. I started doing graphic design, later web, and app design. I left my job as a bartender and told myself that I wanted to stop serving drinks and become a designer. I was constantly curious - how can I make some money doing something like this? I was working as a bartender, but I was doing some graphic design work for our local bars on the side. I: I started with game montages, had a ton of fun doing them. Starting from the first floppy disk with Adobe Photoshop installer and ending up meeting Yaroslav. M: I feel like everything I’ve had in my life has led me to this point. What was the moment that made you say to yourself, “I want to be a designer?” Y: This medium is totally disruptive - it gives lots of new possibilities both for creators and viewers and broadens the boundaries of internet communication even further. In fact, I met these two gentlemen just like that! And I want other people to have the same awesome experiences. I made a couple of good friends on Twitch and Youtube. I: Live streaming helps people connect with their viewers on a much deeper level. I love how it works, such a unique way of interaction. Viewers can not only talk but, most importantly, affect what streamers do. M: Streaming opens new horizons of communication. Why do you have an interest in the live streaming industry? After almost 3 years of making designs exclusively for Streamlabs as Wight Visuals, we’ve decided that it’s the right time to move forward and create Kudos. Yaroslav: A group of peeps who’ll make your stream look cool :) How long has kudos been making theme packages as kudos? Ivan: A small family, a group of friends, a team that wants to create beautiful things and share them with the world Mykola: A team of young folks with a desire to bring beautiful things to this world. In this interview, we talk to the team at Kudos about their services, their design process, what sparked their interest in the live streaming industry, and how they can help you take your stream or content creation to the next level!
