1. What made you switch from modeling to digital marketing, and now back to modeling?
The need to be creative. Actually, I have switched from modeling to writing and editing, e-commerce, PR, then to digital marketing. And now I know, one of the perfect jobs (for me) is a combination of all, modeling included!
2. Your favorite modeling market is…
Paris. Even though it’s been a while since I’ve worked there, it remains my favorite.
3. Describe yourself in one word, please.
That word would be “deep”. First of all, getting to know people’s core values is essential to me. Details always matter, as well. I’m the type of weirdo who wakes up at 4:30AM to catch the sunrise when there’s no one else on the beach, for example, especially when I want to discover a new country. Then I get lost on purpose, see where the tiny streets take me, find some hidden places, stop, admire, get inspired, and so on. It’s great to understand more about people and places, to go deeper and connect with the right ones.

4. What piece of art (book, music, movie, etc.) most influenced the person you are today?
First of all, life experiences, failures… influenced me the most. Then self development books, but I can’t name just one…
5. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Honestly, not many. I keep only what I wear.
6. Is home a place or a person?
A person, even though we associate it with a place.
7. What are your fashion rules and guidelines?
I don’t apply a general rule. I love to mix and match, I have a passion for vintage pieces, and I avoid revealing too much skin. It may sound strange for a girl who doesn’t mind shooting artistic nudes, right? Haha! I know! 😉

8. How is your diet and beauty regimen like?
90% healthy, I’m very disciplined… but not the most disciplined! 🙂
9. What did you Google last?
An address in Central London.

10. What is the one skill you think everyone should have?
I will mention two: communication and empathy. So many problems can be solved if we knew how to communicate sincerely, and/or had some empathy.
13. What’s the longest you’ve gone without sleep (and why)?
Three or four days… I think, for a beauty pageant in China.
