​
My name is Kati, and I am a fashion designer, tailor, and creative visionary with over 20 years of hands-on experience in couture, custom tailoring, stagewear, and theatrical costume. Every stitch I make is rooted in a lifelong relationship with fabric, form, and the human story.
I grew up in a family where sewing was second nature. My grandmothers and my mother all sewed — not as a hobby, but as a way of life. At the age of five, I was already sitting beside my grandmother, learning how to guide the needle with purpose. I started by making soft toys. Then, I made clothes for dolls. Then, I began cutting into tablecloths, curtains, old clothes — anything I could find — just to create. I was obsessed with transformation. Even then, I saw fabric not as material, but as potential.
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a flight attendant. But life had other plans — and so did my mother. She enrolled me in a vocational school to become a seamstress. What began as an accident quickly became a passion. I later pursued a diploma as a fashion designer and garment constructor, blending my skills in sketching, construction, and creative vision.
By my early twenties, I was already taking custom orders at home, sewing for friends, working in production studios, and eventually, running my own atelier in Ukraine. It started with one — and then there were three. Over the years, I dressed performers, public figures, actors, dancers, and clients across the country.
