Born and raised in Brooklyn to Ukrainian parents, I’m rarely seen without two things: a good vintage jacket and my wired headphones (most likely listening to my favorite Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy).

My time studying in London changed me, but the real highlight was hiking the Seven Sisters in East Sussex. It’s easily one of the most stunning places I’ve ever been to.

And most importantly, I have to give a shoutout to my brother (pictured on the right) for becoming a pharmacist so his little sister could go to art school. I wouldn't be here without him...
