I'm passionate about art books. I started making them recently. Now I am not able to imagine my life without this.  I create notebooks, sketchbooks and books with my illustrations using different bookbinding styles. My main materials are paper and textiles. Sometimes the material itself (its texture or colour) inspires me to design a new book. I like experimenting, and each book is unique.

 

In the past, I worked as an architect and also as an artist in making animation films. However, when I moved to the UK I decided to try something new once my life has completely changed. I always loved watching book with illustration since my grandma took me to her job in a bookstore. And I like working with paper. These are two reasons went into bookbinding.
