I am Interior Designer
And my journey began long before it became a profession
I grew up in the Soviet Union, in a world that shaped my outlook long before I understood how. My family lived in a small two‑bedroom apartment, and even as a young girl I felt an irresistible urge to make those tight spaces feel warm, comforting, and alive. I didn’t know it then, but I was already staging interiors — moving things around, refining details, and creating beauty from whatever I could find.
Empty store shelves taught me to be inventive. I made décor from branches, stones, and flowers, repurposed old treasures from my father’s closet, and discovered that creativity thrives not in abundance, but in imagination. DIY became part of me — a rhythm, a reflex, a passion that still guides my work today.

My love for art and design grew in my grandparents’ library, where I spent hours immersed in books about artists, architecture, and interiors. And although international travel was limited, I explored the vast landscapes of the Soviet Union with my parents. Each place left an imprint: the historic charm of Georgia, the romantic shores of Odessa, the European elegance of the Baltic Republics, and the cultural richness of Armenia. Those journeys shaped my eye for architecture, history, and style, giving me a deep appreciation for spaces with soul.
Museums, galleries, old mansions, and palaces fueled my fascination with traditional, intelligent, and sophisticated interiors. While I admired these spaces, I always felt a quiet pull to create something uniquely my own. Finding my voice wasn’t easy — I hesitated to share my ideas at first — but once I let go of the fear of failure, everything changed. I committed fully to interior design, and I’ve never looked back.
Today, my design approach is rooted in curiosity. I ask clients unconventional questions that help them articulate not just how they want their homes to look, but how they want them to feel. I believe a home should support your emotions, your routines, and your dreams.
My work isn’t only about creating beautiful spaces. It’s about crafting environments that bring joy, comfort, and confidence — places where people can feel completely themselves. My mission is to design homes that feel beautifully lived‑in, deeply comforting, and thoughtfully tailored to the people who call them theirs.
