My name is Alexandra Nistor 🌱

I’m 31 years young, and I’m all about exploring new things and connecting with the world around me. I’m a freelance fashion designer and illustrator, with many passions and interests. I love seeing life from as many perspectives as possible and as a result i am a the curious kind, always keen to explore new places, cultures. I am responsible, warm & reliable, i believe that you get what you give so common sense it's part of my standards.

Professionally, I am a fashion designer and illustrator at the start of my freelance journey. I used to be a leather artisan and I know my way around fabrics, sewing machines and patterns. I also love drawing and painting. I love the French culture et j'apprends cette langue depuis mon enfance, mais j'ai besoin de prattiquer plus!

I like gardening (as a little kid I used to visit my grandparent's at the country side and weed the plants), I love taking care of animals (I am a big animal lover). I can easily navigate both the tranquility (and challenges) of nature and the excitement of urban environments and adapt to various settings and tasks.
I am a mix of practical and idealistic mind and try to balance both sides in the most fulfilling way. I find joy in contemplating the deeper meanings of existence, embracing creativity, and seeking inspiration in the world around me. I love being part of a community and caring for the people around me by providing emotional support, cooking, and inspiring others to express themselves. I am the reliable and nurturing kind and taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine.

Really looking forward to meeting you!
