I was born in Armenia and grew up in Moscow. Moving between different cultural environments has shaped the way I see people, places, and emotions. It has made me attentive to the things we carry with us — memories, habits, gestures, and fragments of places we once called home.My work explores how these experiences can be translated into clothing. Through research, I collect visual and emotional references, study cultural identities and the temperaments of women who have surrounded me, and transform my observations into silhouettes, materials, and details.

I am drawn to expressive silhouettes, tactile materials, subtle irregularities, layered forms, and details that carry a sense of history or personal meaning.My approach combines research-based imagery with an intuitive sensitivity to colour, texture, proportion, and movement. Rather than illustrating a feeling literally, I look for a visual equivalent — a fold that resembles a remembered gesture, a material that evokes a familiar sensation, or a silhouette that expresses a particular temperament.Key visual codes: — Cultural contrasts and personal archives — Expressive silhouettes and draping — Tactile materials and layered textures — Details inspired by gestures, objects, and rituals — The tension between familiarity and transformation

I begin with an experience, a question, or a detail that stays with me. It might be a memory, a cultural reference, a gesture, or a particular human temperament. Also I explore the context through visual references, texts, photographs, personal archives, and material experiments.
