HELLO!!!!
I decided to start with a little intro post, so you know who you’re actually going to a birthday party for 😂
My name is Dmitry Kolesnikov. I'm an entrepreneur and a creative soul 🎨 I love blending freedom with structure, creativity with business.

📍 I was born on June 16, 1987, in Moscow.
I studied crisis management in university.
But I’ve been drawn to creativity since childhood — photography, editing, visuals, design, film, stage. All of that has deeply shaped who I am.

📸 From 2007 to 2009, I worked as an art director at three glossy magazines, then became head of a sales department.
And in 2010, I shifted fully into creative work: started freelancing as a photographer and producer, and launched my own projects.
Over the past 13 years, I’ve done hundreds of shoots — from fashion to documentary.

And alongside that, I launched several businesses:
✨ FotoManit — mobile photo & video activations
🎥 ContentMe — a production studio
📸 DAROOM — a chain of photo studios
🎭 Step into Cinema — theater studios for kids
💼 WilTime — agency for hiring & training business assistants

🃏In 2016, I created a party card game called RadiLike
Since 2020, I’ve been building confidence in front of the camera: I acted in TV and magazine commercials, and filmed a few guest podcasts for my YouTube channel “DIKO INTERESTING” — even uploaded one 😁

In 2022, I paraglided off a 1700m mountain and landed on a beach, then went for a swim 🪂
In a way, that’s my life: on the wave, a bit risky, but full of joy and love.

And in 2023, I did my first solo stand-up show 🎙
— scary and awesome at the same time

🎶 I wrote three songs, and dedicated two of them to my amazing wife ❤️

🎨 Another project of mine is “SVOY V DOSKU” — wooden art objects with lighting, neon, deep meaning, and soul. I make everything myself — by hand, with joy.
Exactly a year ago, on my birthday, I opened my first art exhibition in Moscow — and it’s still running.
Right now I’m traveling the world, working remotely.

My wife and I arrived in Bali almost 3 months ago and we’ve been staying in Ubud for the past few days.

🎉 I love celebrating my birthday in unusual ways. One year it was an art show, another year I skydived in Dubai — and this year, in a new place, I wanted to gather cool, real, interesting people for an evening of connection.
A new format for me — and I’m sure it’ll be fun, heartfelt, and anything but boring.

I have an amazing wife, Nastya 💚 — we've been together for 3 years.
