Hey Alina! Tell us a bit about you.
All I’ve had in mind since I was a little kid is creating art, always painting, illustrating, crocheting, photographing.
Coming to Australia six years ago gave me a new perspective on things and I finally found the courage to study what fills my heart and is my big passion now, Graphic Design.
