My start of career is very simple. To be a designer was my childhood dream. I have finished fashion design studies in Villnius Academy of Arts, where I have got bachelor and master degrees.
My fashion studio works about 4 years. After graduation I started work on my own projects. I create fashions collections, participate in fashion events and competitions, have different experience with clients.
I think every designer should have a massage for society, also she/he should take responsibilieties about responsible use. Design has very important role in society. It can improve different areas, functions, can help people comunicate, can give more comfort, pleasure.
My inspirations come from society, comunication, nature, travels, books. I feed my craetivity using mindfulness practice and also having rest and relax enough.
I think I could describe my design as minimlistic. The mani reason of this is my love of simplicity and seeing beauty in simple things. Also I can except fabrics and colors used in my deisign. I like to match different textures and surface, Also all details should have their own function. And the main characteristics - all clothes are transformable.
I live in Vilnius, Lithuania. Of course, I have an impact - this is small cosy country with big history, beautifull nature and creative people. I think, my country gives my a lot of opportunities, also there are a lot of new areas, which are free yet. Of course, the weakness of small country - we dont have a big design or fashion industry.
Design process starts in my head, when I am carying ideas for long or shiort time. Then - searching for information, prototypes if it is needed, sketching, making layouts and prototypes, fitting, choosing fabrics, making an item, fitting, testing, decisions ind conclusions.
I start my morning with cup of tea and having calm atmosfere. Then I go to the studio and on the way I can think about the works of day. In the studio I make "to do" list and start to work - searching and collecting inspirational things, sketching, searching information for project, sewing, making layouts, responding emails, having meatings with clients, having fittings and etc.
I could just say - believe in yourself! This is the way for other people to start believing in you.Also, spend a lot of time in practising, learining and never give ip.
Positives - observation, sensitivity to visual things, knowing and understanding what is good and tasteful design. Negatives - observing and not tasteful things, which are like poison for eyes.
I am using very simple equipment - basic measures, paper, manequine, sewing mashine, computer and etc. Also I used different books, blogs, websites for learning and inspirations.
I would like to have an international career: show my collections in fashion weeks, participate in different showrooms, competitions, also have my own succesfull fashion studio - company.The next step for me will be fashion collection for men
My start of career is very simple. I have finished fashion design studies in Villnius Academy of Arts, where I have got bachelor and master degrees.

Firstly, they should believe in what they are doing and never give up when it is hard time. Also, it is necessary to participate in different competitions and show creation to public.
I would design for women as I am doing now, also I would like to create more for men.
I would like that my client would have free and easy going spirit; would be modern, liberal and stylish.
The secret recipe for success in design is belief in what you are doing, creativness and an activity. My secret ingredient is learning from my own mistakes.
I think my greatest design was my master collection "19862020". I appreciate all aspects - concept, fabrics, colors, constructions, presentation. I am proud of it even today, after 5 years.
