I invite you to be part of my fantasy world. A world of beauty and couture. Ever since I can remember, I have been constantly drawn to the realms of design and esthetics. My family lineage bears the stamp of skilled tailors, and as a young girl, I remember accompanying my mother on trips to purchase fabrics, intended for making custom-made clothes and outfits.

In those years, I was mesmerized watching my mother sew day and night. I was amazed by her wonderful creations. While crossing the corridors of adolescence, I took my fresh steps into the creative world, and sewed outfits for myself and my friends. Armed only with hand sewing techniques during those years, I devoted whole nights to creating and altering clothes, perfecting my skills and nurturing the seed of a developing passion.

The beginning of my ambition to design wedding dresses was discovered at the age of thirteen. A defining moment occurred when I visited my mother at the bridal salon where she worked. The indescribable feelings that arose within me when I entered that hallowed space left a lasting imprint on my soul. With the wisdom of hindsight, I recognize that this profound encounter ignited a flame within me, a flame that will fuel my journey and give me the strength to fulfill my ambitions.

In retrospect, the magic of the world of brides turned out to be an essential and inseparable facet of my existence, which shaped the course of my life.
