If we start way back, I was born in NYC and moved to Tel Aviv as a toddler. Both of my parents were artists—my mother a painter and my dad an architect (who also designed the very modern house we lived in). Growing up, my life was filled with culture, art, design, color and textile.

Moving back and forth from NYC and Long Island, where I spent my summers, to my school years in Tel Aviv gave me the gift of feeling I belonged in two worlds. After serving two years in the army (in Israel everyone goes to the army), I moved back to NYC and attended Parsons School of Design, majoring in communication design. I continued to live in NYC for five years and eventually moved back to Tel Aviv.
