Yulia is a versatile and multifaceted artisan, working with a variety of materials and techniques. 

She was born in the USSR, matured in the USA and blossomed in the UK. Growing up amongst posters by Rodchenko and paintings by Vasnetsov, She read Mikhail Bulgakov, foraged wild blueberries and knitted woolly socks. Then one day during her happy urban childhood, Yulia developed a peculiar interest to style that now, after a period of creative brewing, comfortably sits somewhere between Functional Minimalism and Magical Realism with a strong bend on scientific illustration and interactivity. 

At the moment, Yulia is in the process of gathering inspirations and materials for her new collection.
