I have been working in pastry art for more than ten years.

I started my career as at-home pastry chef promoting my brand online. The desire to develop myself in the profession determined my future destiny — I left my successful home cake studio and began to work as an ordinary employee at a restaurant.

I was as a pastry chef assistant for a while and became a chef in four years. Now, I work as a brand pastry chef for GRANDPRO and three restaurants: Farro Pasta Bar, Shogun, and The Garden Café; besides, I am a teacher at Novikov School.
