I grew up with a deep love for art, constantly exploring new materials and techniques. Over the years, I’ve gone through many creative phases, with my latest passions being ceramics and handmade fabric dolls. Thirteen years ago, I began teaching art to children, which led me to found ArtAway Studio—a space dedicated to nurturing creativity and self-expression. Through teaching, I continue to be inspired by the imaginative spirit of young artists and the endless possibilities within the art world. My journey in art is ever-evolving, rooted in curiosity and a desire to share the joy of making with others.

My Barbie design was inspired by my fascination with sea creatures. When I saw the word “metamorphosis,” I immediately thought of the immortal jellyfish—an incredible creature that can revert to its polyp stage when under stress. This idea of transformation and resilience deeply influenced the concept behind my design and artistic expression.
