Since I can remember I loved creating. As a child, I attended junior fashion school and art workshops. In my last years of school, I started to take art seriously and attended a local art school in my hometown, Novosibirsk.

Being surrounded by nature and charming local architecture, I started painting, experimenting with acrylics. This resulted in my first exhibition at the "Women of Santa Catarina" event.

While painting and working on design projects, I decided to take my skills further and entered a Fashion Design course at the University of the South of Santa Catarina. I became instantly intrigued by fashion illustration and textile design, seeing the connection between art and every day objects.

As a student, I was selected to participate in the first Design Camp in Brazil, which gave me an opportunity to collaborate with representatives of the fashion industry, resulting in me receiving a "Group Leader" award and adding new surface patterns to my portfolio.

After graduation, I worked on a range of personal projects. In 2017 registered as a self-employed pattern designer helping local businesses to stand out by adding captivating visual elements to their branding and marketing.

Being passionate about ballet and theatre, I designed a ballet-inspired pattern and signed my first collaboration with one the largest ballet blogs in the country, "Mundo bailarinistico". I will never forget the feeling of seeing my patterns printed on products for the first time.

Deciding to take my career further and learn more about the creative business, I moved to London with my husband. I became instantly fascinated by the diversity of styles and number of possibilities.

Taking time during lockdowns to work on my style, I discovered acrylic gel mediums that allowed me to create textured three-dimensional paintings and participate in art exhibitions in London.

Working as an artist and designer full time I registered as a self-employed in the UK, and I'm looking forward to discovering what else is possible.
