Effect of the war

Most of the goods and all materials for work, equipment remained in the occupied territory. Everything had to be rebuilt from scratch. On the positive side, we began to pay more attention to the international platform for craft products – Etsy.

 

Resulting challenges

As a result of challenges, I do not only continued activities, but finally, officially registered and already plan to hire a person

 

The sought-for solution

After the start of a full-scale war, I did not stop my work. Moreover, on February 24, 2022, I received an order from a regular customer from the USA with words of support. I realized that I was not alone, I recovered, and after a week I sent the order. I live and am inspired by creating jewelry, and of course I have dozens of pattern folders, boxes of unique beads, beads, and hardware. More precisely, I had all this, because all this still remains in the occupied territory in the city of Berdyansk. I don’t sleep well without a large supply of colorful beads, so I constantly invest about 60% of my income to replenish materials. My resilience is manifested in the fact that I do not give up and do not give up, no matter how difficult it is. Despite explosions, constant air alarms, I am going to realize my dream
