    Reflektor Digital is a creative agency led by award-winning professionals in the field of digital user experience. Founded by Creative Director Maria Vasileva and CTO Max Rusan, the agency’s focus is on creating captivating websites, applications and unique experiences which appeal to international audiences. Both Max and Maria have an extensive background in graphic design and development with 20 years of experience in the field combined. Maria is a graduate of Trinity College, the University of Toronto where she studied International Relations and English Literature. However, her love for the creative and different mediums of communication led her to continue her studies in web design and UI/UX. Max began making websites at the age of 10 in Kiev, Ukraine. His passion for pushing the boundaries of technology has shaped him into one of Canada’s most accomplished developers. He is a graduate of Ryerson’s New Media program.

    When Reflektor is not creating digital magic they partner up with leading entrepreneurs in the tech industry to organize their Pivot Talks. The seminars are focused on educating people on the benefits of entering the field of tech and innovation to help fight unemployment.
