About Me

Hey! I am new to this magical website and I don't know what I am doing yet.
But
About me:
I am a fashion design student travelling to collect inspiration from all over the world. I was born in Latvia and spent some amazing years in Riga, going to theatre, drawing classes and learning languages, going to concerts and hanging out with friends. My friend runs a reading/wine club where I still participate when back home.

Then I moved to Scotland to study at the gLasgOw sChoOl of ARt. Here we go to concerts, exhibitions, cinema, we go out to local pubs and sometimes raves and we explore Scottish nature. We go to big places - London, Edinburgh - and small places - Cumbernauld - and everyone here is so inspiring which makes it exciting to learn about their culture.

Sometime in between I also managed to do an Erasmus exchange year in Paris, where I made so many crazy friends and fell in love with the city of clichés (and practiced a bit of my French which I am still learning at Alliance française).

My next plan is to visit ArtBasel and see loads of contemporary art!
