"Any types of arts and crafts have always been of a big interest to me. And I love children! While studying in University I was working as a mathematics tutor and a children's animator. I was making decoration for wedding parties and handmade gifts. I was doing decoupage, painting on glass, creating jewellery from polymer clay. It was always interesting to try myself in different areas such as cooking, soap and candles making, floristry, etc. I've worked in a children's carpentry workshop and in an engineer studio."
