The mix of my Kazakh background and American training shapes my unique approach to pastry.

My portfolio showcases not just my baking abilities but also the blend of cultures that inspire my creations, making each treat a tasty story in itself.

After graduating with a degree in pastry and baking arts, I worked in one of the most famous bakeries in New York City and met a lot of talented chefs.

Over time, I became more and more fascinated with the art and science of cooking, I continued learning about food through additional courses in the midst of opening my bakery in the city.
