about me
I'm a freelance costume maker based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. My journey in the world of fashion, tailoring, and design began at the Technical School of Clothing in Plovdiv, Bulgaria from 1994 to 1997, where I honed my skills in the Technique and Design of clothing.

Following my vocational education, which also led to a College Diploma from the University of National and International Economics, I embarked on my professional career at Totally Erected Design Studio. This studio is renowned for its unique and daring urban style of clothing and accessories.

In 2010, my adventure in the realm of theater commenced at the Satirical Theater in Sofia, Bulgaria. There, I contributed as a Pattern Cutter and Costume Maker. My specialization lies in garment construction, and I'm driven by a passion for learning and experimentation. This drive has allowed me to develop a diverse portfolio and a wide range of skills, encompassing everything from crafting period costumes and fashion pieces to dancewear, wigs, accessories, and even the creation of large-scale puppetry.

I'm readily available for work in the theater, TV, and film industries, and I'm open to opportunities for projects both at home and abroad.
