My whole childhood was surrounded by flowers as my grandmother had a wonderful garden with enormous collection of flowers and other plants. As a child I spent a lot of time playing with flowers, their petals and leaves. I‘ve even been making clothes for my dolls using it. Actually, more often than not my grandmother was not happy about it given that I‘ve been destroying her flowers in that way.

My goal after finishing school was to study at Art Academy. I was very determined, attending portfolio preparation courses for almost our years, but I ended up earning a BA in Economy instead. I worked as an , but I felt it wasn’t my calling. While working in bank I‘ve finished several floristics schools, I‘ve took part in various masterclasses, read books about it. After a while I quitted my day job and plunged in a world full of flowers and plants. Though it's not always the easiest life, I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I fancy observing nature and I‘m really happy that I live in a country with all four seasons and sharp differences between them. I love the chaos of spring, the colored and fragrant meadows, the goods of autumn not to mention delicate winter splendor. Nature is the best teacher and inspirer I‘ve ever had. I really love to take a walk in forrest or park but honestly those walks are not just time spending activity with my family but more of collection of cones and branches with my family members helping me to take those nature treasury back home.

Once when I was in the flea market I saw an old hat with handmande flowers. The were so beautiful! I started looking for information about millinery flowers and visited several old fashion exibitions and I found my new hobby and passion. I often adorn the brides with accesories made from real flowers so I was curious to try it with handmaded flowers. I have a dream related to the old millinery techniques and I believe that it will come true someday.

„Florasense“ – that‘s my special nature and plants world which i share with you so that our lives would seem easier and prettier. I try to make the world more beautiful with my work.

Warm wishes,
