I graduated as an Environmental interior designer, completing a 6 year course of practical, theoretical and academic art disciplines. Later on this education allowed me to confirm my diploma and to obtain International Master’s Degree in Design, evaluated by WES Education Services of New York, USA. After my graduation I was invited to hold a teaching position.

I was teaching the core subject of the Environmental Design for a group of 30 students of the Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Arts by S.G. Stroganovfor a spin of 6 years, together with talented architect Andrey Ovchinnikov. Nowadays many of our students work in the industry with the success and quality we were aiming for.

I became a member of the national Designer’s Union and collective member of International Designer Unions immediately after my own graduation and it made me one of the youngest designers ever accepted to the organization.

For 10 years I worked with the wonderful team of my bureau “Clot Arago Design Interiors” and we were creating and executing a lot of public and residential interiors of varied complexity and budget.

Soon after that I left to study in Silicon Valley Startup Academy of the Founder Institute (USA, California), which ultimately led to the creation of the Design consulting platform, that was unique to the design field and has been purchased by the investor at this point.

I lived and worked in Europe, USA, former USSR countries and Africa. For more then 2 years already i’ve chosen Lisbon, Portugal to become my team’s headquarters for design work all over Europe Union.

I currently study in PhD in Design program in IADE, Universidade Europea, Lisbon, Portugal to explore the researching side of design and to defend my doctoral thesis

But most importantly, I feel that everything around, especially the place where we live - is supposed to be perfectly tuned for us. And that is exactly a goal continuously strive and educate myself for.
