My grandparents immigrated from Ukraine to France during the Second World War. Neither of my parents had the baccalauréat. I became a lawyer, got married, lived in Luxembourg and London, had children, moved to Switzerland, divorced, and raised my twin sons on my own. And guess what? It was challenging—and even more fun! But the story doesn’t end there.

As life began to feel a little too predictable, I knew I needed more. At 48, after 20 years of living a double life—drafting contracts by day and painting by night—I gave birth to CZI, The Art of Skin: my Artwear brand. Born from a desire to empower people and make them feel unique, I now lead bold, expressive projects from Dubai to Miami, transforming my paintings into maximalist prints worn with pride.

My atypical journey has given mean in-depth knowledge of complex organizations and crisis and stress management, transforming my natural optimism into hyper-resilience.
