In early 2023 I was approached by Alex Abian to get featured in his project State of Tokyo.
Alex created State of Tokyo in order to tell the stories of creatives doing work across different fields, while having Tokyo as their creative base. Alex kindly did an interview with me, based on which he wrote an extensive article. This piece traces my journey from moving from Ukraine to Japan for a Master's degree at the The University of Tokyo, to later working as an architect in KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES.
