Maria Tarasyuk

Khmelnytskyi National University

My name is Mariia Tarasiuk, and I am a student at the Faculty of Technology and Design. Creativity has always been at the center of my life and has shaped both my personal growth and professional aspirations. From an early age, I was passionate about drawing, imagining new possibilities, and turning ideas into tangible creations. At the age of ten, I began studying at an art school, where I developed a strong artistic foundation and learned to express my vision through design. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to creativity, innovation, and meaningful design. Recently, I founded my own clothing brand, which is steadily growing and evolving. Through this project, I aim to combine aesthetics, functionality, and responsibility. My vision extends beyond creating visually appealing products—I am committed to developing designs that contribute to a more sustainable future. As the fashion industry faces increasing environmental challenges, I believe designers have a responsibility to create products that minimize harm to the planet and encourage conscious consumption. In 2026, I plan to submit one of my works and continue expanding my knowledge, skills, and creative practice. I see every project as an opportunity to learn, innovate, and make a positive impact. I am confident that this is only the beginning of my journey, and I look forward to bringing many more ideas to life through thoughtful and sustainable design. My goal is not only to create products but also to inspire others through creativity, purpose, and a commitment to positive change.
