A creative lifestyle curated by a Ukrainian girl

I am a Christ follower & creative being! I love traveling the world with my dog, Franklin and collaborating with other passionate humans across various mediums and industries. A quick overview of some of my many passions and projects are below.

If you would like to collaborate or hire me for a project — whether it is for a textured art piece, elevated gift wrapping, flower arrangements, creative consulting, styling & fashion, hosting a party, or curating a one-of-a-kind yoga & breathwork retreat — I would love to work with you!

Creative art direction & design

With over 15 years of both in-house and agency experience, I bring a unique and artful point of view to every campaign I work on. View my work.

Cooking for a crowd

Whether it's a Sunday brunch or a neighborhood potluck, cooking is a love language = caring for people. Win hearts with food — let's whip up a meal together!

Watercolor illustrations

Simple lines and clean composition along with a sense of fashion and a touch of gold is how I would describe my style of illustrations. Contact me for samples.

Home decor

Elevating every nook of your living space to be something comfortable, beautiful and lovely to be in is a hobby and a passion of mine.

Sourdough bread

Freshly baked and rustic, this hobby is demanding but so delicious. With each loaf, the joy of freshly baked bread outweighs the process. Let me teach you!

Party decor

The proper accoutrements for the occasion help make the event that much more special. I love to decorate for children and adults alike.

Styling for fashion or home

My background in retail merchandising for brands such as J.Crew and Vineyard Vines echoes into my passion for styling anything from office shelves to the kitchen.

Freshly baked goods

If it's blueberry lemon scones, chocolate hazelnut babka or carrot cupcakes with freshly whipped cream cheese frosting that you're craving, I make mine with real love.

Abstract art

Bold neon colors, metallics, and a youthful aesthetic are a great way to describe my style of abstract art.

Textured art

Creating fine art keeps my hands playing, a break from the digital space. Textured art can be subtle and soft, or bold and dramatic — I love both! How about you?

Made-to-order specialty cakes

Carpathian Cake is a classic Ukrainian dessert I baked for a neighbor who wanted to support Ukraine for her husbands birthday. What can I bake for you?

Flower arranging

I love working with fresh-cut flowers to elevate and bring a wonderful healing energy. Let me whip up a stunning arrangement for you.
