You are the one who always laughs and radiates positive energy. Is this a way of existence for you?

I am accustomed to always looking at life from a positive perspective, and I had the courage to change what went wrong. I always thought that if something doesn’t suit me, I should change, and if I can’t, I should accept the truth. I created a beautiful little world for myself, with everything I created, working tooth and nail. I eliminated from my life everyone and everything that bothered me, tired me, upset me. Perhaps it’s a protective shield, I don’t know, but it works. It makes me more productive. I am a person who truly loves taking care of life, exalting and multiplying the good. That’s how I can preserve my inner energy.

A career that is constantly evolving requires serious pace. Is there any pressure created by success?

Of course, no success is achieved easily. Especially the question of consistency is the most difficult. But for me, it’s not pressure, it’s a journey where I constantly push my own boundaries. It stops being a problem when you look at it like this; they’re just small bumps on the road. You don’t even remember when it all passed. Over time, I’ve developed my own way of maintaining balance, renewing myself. For me, it’s important to be able to increase the value of every work I’m involved in, to be an innovative and bold person. Of course, never forgetting to enjoy it.

In July, you turned 30. “Before, it was…” Have you started to come up with the continuation of the sentence?

I’m not saying “before,” but now, my mind and body want something different. My needs are changing, and I can be very aware of that. But I want to be a woman who loves every age, every moment, every moment of life. Life is too short to regret and wish for things.

What phase are you in your life?

There are still so many things I want to experience, so many places I want to see… I don’t have a to-do list in the sense that I’m living life, and I have a list in my mind when it comes to my specific goals, but goals never end. Whatever the outcome, let the process be beautiful.

How has your style changed since you started your career?

I’ve been working in this industry from a very young age. I’ve always been interested in these things. I believe that fashion, style – it’s a big part of my work. My style evolved as I pushed my own boundaries and got to know myself. But I think the most important thing has always been to be bold. I love taking risks.
