Veronika Yakobchuk (she/her) is an interdisciplinary graphic designer and researcher, born in Ukraine and currently practising in London, United Kingdom.

With over seven years of experience, I work at the intersection of branding, publishing, exhibition design, and digital media. My practice explores how emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, reshape intimacy, presence, and perception. Through multimedia formats and speculative design, I examine themes of emotional datafication, time, isolation, and constant surveillance. Interdisciplinary methods and psychoanalytic thought are central to my practice, serving as tools for reflecting on what it means to be seen, heard, or replaced by technology.

I draw inspiration from cinema, photography, modern art, philosophy, and other disciplines. For me, design is about balancing aesthetics with meaning, creating work that not only evokes emotion but also addresses real needs.



















 


Slow-Dating Toolkit (2025)This project is my MA graduation work at Central Saint Martins. It is a quiet rebellion against the speed of modern love. In a world of instant matches and algorithmic swipes, can slowness be a form of care?
           The project transforms the cold logic of digital datafication into a sensory experience. Framed as a slow-dating toolkit, it mirrors the stages of datafication: collecting through a printed publication, analysing through sound recordings, and implementing through handwritten invitations. Each step invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and with others.
           For anyone feeling lost in today’s love systems, this is my small offering to bring back presence, attention, and meaning.

Step 1: Collecting through a publication

Step 2: Analysis through a CD Recording (CD Transcript is available here)




Step 3: Implementation through a letter invitation
