- For RelativesTo look at the interior and remember gathering together, celebrating holidays, simply living life, and giving warmth to each other.
- For Loved oneTo give them the opportunity to return to a moment when they were small, the world was so big, and so much excitement lay ahead. And here we are, taking off our hats at the door and freezing our ears.
- For YourselfTo preserve the most important moment in a small box: a meeting, an introduction, or just an everyday photo where you are happy. Open the box, light it up, and you’re back in that moment.
- For Those Who Have EverythingWhen all the envelopes and certificates have been gifted, and you want to give real value: a memory, a chance to touch something that’s now out of reach.

Grandma and Grandpa’s house is always close now
The room where your husband spent his childhood
A miniature room in a suitcase based on a photo and memories.

For 5 years, I’ve been giving people the opportunity to preserve memories, important moments, and to gift emotions to loved ones through handcrafted miniatures. I am a very empathetic person, having seen and internalized different stories of interiors, boxes, and roomboxes.
I pay close attention to every detail in each project because capturing the moment is not just about replicating the interior from a photo. What matters is the color of the apples you picked with your dad near the house, the pattern on the plate where grandma placed pancakes from the oven, and how much it snowed on the day you met your significant other.
Outside of the project, I am a wife and mother. I live an active life, practice yoga, and spend a lot of time with my family in nature.
I understand what it means to be unable to touch a place or embrace people who mean a lot to you. Each of our suitcases or boxes offers that possibility.
I treat each of your memories and important moments with care and respect.
Living mindfully, in my view, means appreciating what was, preserving those emotions, and continuing to live this life here and now.
You can always warm yourself with the warmth of the box and return to that very moment.

Miniatures for Brands
My first non-memory-related order was from a theater actress who ordered a large suitcase with a miniature interior for a play.
As my project began gaining recognition in other countries, people started reaching out to surprise company owners. This is wonderful because a typical set of notebooks, cognac, and chocolates doesn’t bring as much emotion as miniatures of a business do.
In the gallery, you’ll find my work for «Ёбидоёби» | International sushi and roll delivery network и VIVA LA VIKA - trendy jewelry store
Miniatures were also ordered for the online cinema Онлайн-кинотеатр Okko
I greatly value such trust and am open to discussing your custom brand gifts.

I do not work directly with companies, but if you, as an employee or a close person, want to create a miniature and make a nice gift for someone in the company, we can do that. The process is the same: you fill out the contact form (here), and I will get in touch with you. If you have any clarifying questions, you can also ask me directly (here).
In all the years of my work, this has only happened twice, and we found a solution with the client. During the approval stage of any product, I discuss everything with you in the finest details to ensure that each box or house not only captures the moment from the photo but also fully conveys the mood that is needed.
To create a memory box based on your photos, the following are needed:
- Photos for the background with your wishes for the content. Multiple photos can be combined into a single composition.
- For creating miniature figures, provide photos of the people or a description (hair color and length, body type, clothing description).
- A layout of the room indicating where everything was located, along with photos.
- If a piece of furniture is missing in the photos, describe it in detail or find a similar item online.
- A layout of the area around the house (house, outbuildings, trees, fences) and photos.
- Mark all windows and doors on the house diagram.
