Meet Valentina Tikhonova
I joined Immersion in 2019 and started from zero. Everything was new and scary, and I didn't know what to expect. Sometimes I didn't even understand what I was doing, but I kept going. When I created my first pattern I had so much joy. I was so happy that I DID IT! It was like a new world just opened to me. I could breathe and see myself doing what I love!
After the course, I took a part in The London Stationery Show in 2021. The workshop I created, 'Release With Grids', was a huge success and the feedback was incredible! And I am now writing a book.
