Born in Belarus and with the first MA in Linguistics, Olya moved to Finland in 2013. Three years of searching for teaching positions did not bear fruit, so she went to study Graphic Design to the art school that just by a happy coincidence happened to be in a town close by. Her son has just turned one and Olya got interested in clothing  brands that offered alternative design and fabrics to the ones that the mass market offered. And that is how a dream to work with illustration was born. 9 years later Olya is loving her every work day creating colourful designs that are making people smile, be it on clothing, paper, clay or a wall .
