I was born in Armenia and raised in Moscow. Moving between different cultural environments has shaped how I perceive people, places, and emotions. It has made me attentive to the things we carry with us—memories, habits, gestures, and fragments of the 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 the 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 color, 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 start with an experience, a question, or a detail that resonates with me. It could be a memory, a cultural reference, a gesture, or a particular human temperament. I also explore the context through visual references, texts, photographs, personal archives, and material experimentation.
