Hi! I’m Ayа from Turkmenistan — a country of hospitality, sunshine, and warm-hearted people.

I’m an English teacher, traveler, and designer who loves creating beautiful things by hand, from tailored men’s shirts to matching outfits for girls and their dolls. I enjoy learning, sharing, and meeting people who make the world feel smaller and kinder.
