Hi, my name is Katya. I am an artist, designer (specializing in textiles), set designer in theater and cinema, and textile art critic. I specialize in textiles, and this area includes many professional branches. I began studying art and design at an art school, then entered the A.N. Kosygin Textile University in Moscow, in the Art Textiles department. I defended my master's thesis on modern textile materials at the A.L. Stieglitz Academy in St. Petersburg. Now I am a postgraduate student at the Textile University, and continue my research into innovative textile materials.
