Slikanjem počela da se bavi sa 13 godina u ateljeu Džengisa Redžepagića, i do 15-e godine učestvovala na dve grupne izložbe u galeriji „Sopoćanska viđenja“ u Novom Pazaru. Ljubav prema slikarstvu nastala u ranim danima detinjstva ostavlja traga na dalji profesionalni razvoj u savremenom odevanju i umetnosti uopšte. Tokom školovanja učestvovala je na nekoliko izložbi i kolonija (Novi Pazar, Podgorica, Užice, Beograd, P**a). Po završetku studija prikazuje kolekciju kaputa na zajedničkoj diplomskoj reviji u okviru Beogradske nedelje mode. U periodu od decembra 2003. do avgusta 2004. godine radi u Trikotaži Ivković, a tokom leta 2004. učestvuje na „Ljetnoj međunarodnoj likovnoj koloniji“ u Peroju, Hrvatska. Naredne godine u saradnji sa kolegama slikarima organizuje „Ljetnu međunarodnu koloniju Peroj“ i započinje saradnju sa Radionicom za umetničku obradu stakla „Tiffany“ iz Tripkove, Zlatibor. Svoje predmete od stakla izlaže i prodaje u Maloj galeriji „Singidunum“ u Beogradu.
2006. upisuje paralelni master program menadžmenta u kulturi na Univerzitetu umetnosti u Beogradu i Univerzitetu Lumière Lyon 2 u želji da se usavrši u oblasti menadžmenta u modi.
2007. godine postaje stipendista Vlade Republike Francuske i dobija priliku za stručno usavršavanje u pozorištu Celestins u Lionu. Iskustvo stečeno tokom boravka u Francuskoj učvršćuje ljubav prema Francuskoj kulturi i jeziku. Dosta dobro razume francuski jezik i i dalje pokušava da ga govori. Organizuje nekoliko događaja i seminara u domenu kulture i kulturne politike (Srbija, Rumunija). Uporedo, radi samostalno pod svojim imenom unikatne odevne predmete i uniforme, priprema i podučava crtanju i slikanju mlade ljude, i sve više se zanima za oblast marketinga kao neizostavnog segmenta svake produkcije.
2008. godine dobija priliku da radi u Francuskoj visokoj školi za modni dizajn „Mod’Art Beograd“. Uspeva da svoja dotadašnja znanja asimilira i primeni u radu u nastavi i marketingu škole Mod’Art Beograd i zajedničkim snagama sa vlasnicima da pokrene novi smer Modni menadžment. Danas je ponosna na prve generacije menadžera u modi škole Mod’Art, svoje učenje zajedno sa timom Mod’Art Beograd, i voli svoj posao, zato je i dalje tu.
2010. godine odbranila je tezu „Menadžment modnih događaja“, sazrela umetnički i shvatila da je ipak pre svega stvaralac. Ne toliko ambiciozna koliko veliki radnik. Ideju o sebi kao jasno definisanom umetniku u modnom dizajnu rodila se u 2010. godini, a nakon nekoliko godina rešila je da tu ideju sprovede u delo. Želja joj je da svoj rad organizuje i prikaže svojstveno njenom umetničkom senzibilitetu i karakteru, i da na pravi način primeni svoja znanja i umeća.
Želi da realizovana dela govore umesto nje. Voli mnogo putovanja, more, dinamično okruženje, ponekad da se izrazi pisanim rečima. Fanatično dosledna svojim uverenjima i načelima, često crno-bela bez nijansi, a obožava boje.
