I have big hands, it surprises everyone!

— How and when did you become a model?

Three years ago I went to a project of the top model in Ukraine, and this was the beginning of my modeling career. But only for a year have I been doing this professionally.

— What are three interesting facts about you?

I am a lazy person in life, so all the time I try to be in motion so as not to live my life in vain.
I also love to dream, I can dive into myself for an hour.
I constantly go to the wrong place or sit in the wrong transport, so I taught myself to leave the house half an hour earlier, I don’t like to be late!

One of my most embarrassing moment could be in my first commercial. I was doing a cosmetic advertisement, [cast as] the main character together with a girl. The end of the video was about kissing her, but she was the girlfriend of my roommate… [who] was also booked for that job. So he was filming me and having fun at that moment, and I was pretending it was funny but definitely it wasn’t.
