Professional Print Designer

From the age of three I was engaged in folk dances, there we studied the composition of the dance, learned to hear the beat and rhythm. In parallel with this, I was engaged in drawing. All together helped to form in me a love of rhythm in drawing, hence the love of ornament, which I was introduced to by teachers at the institute.

I find inspiration in everything that surrounds me. Especially in animals and plants. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by flowers and animals (my grandmother collects and grows flowers, and my grandfather breeds different animals). Every day I rejoice and enjoy life, because every day is special and unique!

I worked at a wallpaper factory, collaborated with the Trekhgornaya Manufactory and with various clothing brands. Any experience is very interesting and develops from the professional side. 
I really like to watch how the pattern begins to come to life on the fabric.
 
I like to combine graphic techniques in my works - a line, a dot and a spot.
I have experience working with raster and vector graphic editors. I have a good command of all the techniques of drawing by hand. 

I am also fond of airbrushing and weaving. I like to experiment and come up with something new and unusual.
