I was born in Krasnoyarsk and have been living here all my life.
Doll-making is not my real job, because when I was a student, I studied engineering and got a diploma of Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic University. With this major, I should have been working in a Hydroelectric Power Station, but my favorite occupation is doll-making. 
If only I could have a little bit more time! I have so many plans, ideas and projects! I would like to learn so many things, like making dolls of porcelain or plastics.

At the moment I make only textile dolls, but not only dolls. I love making lots of different things by myself, should it be craft things of natural materials or unusual garments or even the pieces of furniture and design. I have re-arranged and redecorated our old small apartment – the heritage of the former Soviet times- trying to make it look bigger and brighter. I was writing the fairy tales for my daughter when she was small, designing her outfits when she grew up etc.

Now I am also learning “photography”, trying to get along with my camera! This is a big problem! Me and modern technologies it is a long story!

Oh, by the way, I am also fond of flowers and plants so I do my best to keep my apartment and my working place as green as possible in the conditions of the Siberian climate.

That’s it at the moment.
