I am sewing since 2018 and most of the things that I wear are made by me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most intense experiences in my life was visiting high-security prison in Ukraine as a part of my work with Canadian observation mission at Ukrainian elections. Also, visiting occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk in early 2015 was one of a kind experience for me.
