About

Multinational, multilingual journalist and editor with over 15 years of experience in luxury media, celebrity interviews, culture, and lifestyle journalism.

London-based since 2009, I had worked across Europe and the US, building an extensive international network across film, fashion, art, tech, and high-end brands. Known for in-depth interviews, editorial leadership, and ability to connect creative industries with luxury markets.

As an interviewer I talked to Wes Anderson, David Bailey (and survived the interview!), Mikhail Baryshnikov, Monica Bellucci, Henry Cavill, Daniel Craig, Luke Evans, Colin Firth, Eva Green, Keira Knightley, Steve McQueen, Carey Mulligan, Sergei Polunin, Pussy Riot, Daniel Radcliffe, HRH Princess Olga Romanoff, Paul Smith, etc.

As an editor of the luxury lifestyle magazine for UHNW I worked with a number of luxury brands: Art In Time (Karl-Friedrich Scheufele watch gallery in Monaco), Boucheron, Bvlgari, Cannes Film Festival, Charriol, Chopard, Christie’s Auction House, Isabell Kristensen Couture, Knight Frank, L’Raphael, Oscar Awards (UK branch), Royal Ascot, Ralph and Russo, Roger Dubuis, Sotheby’s as well as numerous five-star hotels and clubs (Chalet N, L’Oscar, My Arbor, Open Reserve Bolifushi, Palazzo Fiuggi, Sud Lisboa, Villa Eden Gardone, etc.).
 
I also worked and am still working as a freelance luxury journalist. Over time the brands I covered for the international media franchises (Russian FT, Cosmopolitan, Interview magazine, etc.) include, but are not limited to (in alphabetical order): Annabel’s, Aman hotels, Belmond hotels, Faberge, Hedonism Wines, Hublot, Jaguar, Jimmy Choo, Jumeirah Group, Lalique, Morgan Cars, Panerai, St Regis-Bal Harbor, The Golden Vines Awards by The Gerard Basset Global Fine Wine Report, Vertu (in 2014, before it closed down).

As a part of my career I developed strong insights into lifestyle and luxury coverage and recruited key professionals in TV, theatre, film, art, design, and tech industries.

I have also participated in organising events, such as Alessandro Ristori in Harris Bar / London, Summer Party with Roger Dubuis / Monaco, Spring Party with Jimmy Choo in Lalique boutique/ London and Christmas Parties in Opera Gallery and Annabel’s / London as well as the visual presentation for the Boucheron’s Exclusive Exploration of Snake Symbolism in Jewellery lecture.

I have lived and worked in Lithuania, Russia and USA. I am fluent in English and Russian and have lived and worked in the UK since 2009.
