Meet Ellie, an incredibly talented woman with a very interesting and inspiring background. She was born in Russia but her parents are both from Kyrgzstan, but it was in China that she ended up finding her true purpose.
She studied architecture in Russia and that was the beginning of her journey into the arts and creative world, which opened her the doors to the amazing and chaotic architectural industry here in China. And it would later, turn into her own personal business endeavor!
A very interesting point she brings up is that even without speaking fluent mandarin, she was able to navigate smoothly through her job because the architectural world kind of speaks the same language, which is through shapes, designs anddrawings. This proves us that there are multiple ways of communicating with others and not always through speech, sometimes an image can convey a thousand words.
After many years working and hustling as an architect in the country, it was through dancing as a leisure activity that sparked in her a possibility of a different path in life, but still in the subject of arts, design and creativity! Now with her own studio, she is able to pass along all her knowledge and experience to people from all kinds of background, from children to adults.
Ellie has been in China for 10 years and has achieved immense success and satisfaction personally and professionally. We chat on the highs and the lows of living in the country and how the life she is living now fulfills her sense of success with a of joy, nurture, satisfaction and connection.
