Ho studiato grafica a Tel-Aviv, la mia città natale. Poi sono arrivata a Milano – la mia città che adottiva – per studiare architettura al Politecnico. Ma la tridimensionalità non mi ha conquistata come ha fatto la grafica, che è sempre stata la mia passione. Mi sento fortunata di applicarla nel quotidiano.
