From an early age, I knew that everything related to textiles was very close to me, thanks to my mother with an exceptional taste for aesthetics. In all areas, I am more interested in the creative process itself than the end result. That's why I have an unconventional approach to my design, and usually the collection is not drawn in detail in advance, but is created on the fly according to a certain concept, system. I find inspiration in my personal life, in unusual things that catch my attention. Nioka design is defined as multifunctional minimalism that combines avant-garde simplicity with artistic expression.
