About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to decide who do I want to be when I grow up

ABOUT ME

Hey! My name is Natalia. I'm happy and I can't imagine my life without travelling. I don't like to stay at one place (but sometimes I just have to), I need to be in motion =)
A few years ago I've graduated from university and for a while had no idea what to do next. My major was economy and after five years of it I was bored. I was drawing all my life and slowly started to do some commissions. Right now I work as a freelance illustrator and this job gives me enough freedom to see the world (and of course I actually do love my job).

At least half of the year I live in the amazing city of Saint Petersburg, where I've been born, & if you want I'll show it to you =)
The other half I am studying in Vienna, Austria, or travelling. And If I'm in Vienna - I can also join you for a walk or coffee or chat and show you a little bit around.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every moment =)
It's on you - to make your life interesting.

Interests

I'm keen on hiking. I love mountains and I dream about it all the time.
Also I enjoy sports - trampoline jumping, running, cycling, skiing and skating.
I'm open to everything new.
And! My job is my hobby. I can't imagine my life without drawing almost everyday =)
