About me

I specialize in designing public spaces from concept to implementation, with a focus on creating play and educational areas.

After moving to Serbia with my family in 2022, I started exploring local ecosystems and the city’s green spaces. Soon, I felt like sharing these discoveries and meeting others who are curious about plants and landscapes, too.

Collaborations

These tours were inspired by the Plantwatching project, founded by geobotanist Irina Varganova in St. Petersburg, and developed in collaboration with historian Elvira Ibragimova, a specialist in the history of Central and Southeast Europe.

The tours are supported by the DIAS community of designers and architects in Serbia with the Telegram channel @interiorserbia.
