Since early childhood, I have loved creating: drawing, sculpturing, embroidering, and sewing. Unfortunately, I made a wrong choice during my youth: I followed the footsteps of my parents and got an engineering degree. Yes, my profession is a chemical engineer.
I must confess, I’ve always dreamed of creating a magical cleaner that would allow all women to be carefree. This magical foam could be sprayed in your room before you go on your walk. The foam would collect all the dust and dirt before it dries. After your walk, simply sweep up the rolled-up foam and enjoy your tea, happily, in your squeaky-clean home.
As it turns out, I have dedicated my professional life to something completely different than chemistry, but is it possible that someone else could invent this magical cleaner for me? Science is blasting ahead at cosmic speeds and I still dream of becoming carefree…
As a chemical engineer, I spent about nine years creating new polymer compounds, developing new casting technologies, and controlling the quality of new products. (Now, being a quality controller for myself, I understand why the factory workers sighed so heavily from my demands. Both then and now my demands are rather strict :))
When the engineering research was over, and my designs were already being used for mass production, I got bored. I don’t like working with established algorithms. I yearn for new problems to solve. I am a discoverer, an explorer, an improviser.
After 15 years in the profession, I decided: that’s enough! There won’t be another time to do what I really want. After a year of doubts and uncertainties, I decided to abandon my promising career as the plant’s chief technologist, and return to my childhood love: Handiwork. I left my job. And I started from scratch.
