We had the good fortune of connecting with Timafei Dolinyak (AKA Tima Fei) and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Timafei, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Honesty matters most to me. I am honest with myself and others, because it shortens the path to my goals and helps to live a life without illusions.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My approach to the creative process is founded on being responsible, reliable and original. I am proud to be selective with my future and to be able to exist and create freely. The answer to where I am today is simple: small steps daily towards a set goal and being comfortably uncomfortable in every situation or project.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Recently I discovered Bartaco (in West Midtown) and so far I enjoy everything on the menu. Also, Bacchanalia is on the top of my list.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am grateful to my friends and my NORdjs crew in Chicago. I always have their support and am proud of their achievements, learn from them and believe in making progress together. Also, the main shout-out goes to my mom for instilling the importance of independence and self-confidence in me. She always supports me with her good advice.
