... a soap-making superhero with a background in engineering. My journey began in Russia, where I dreamt of becoming a designer. However, being a designer in a family of engineers was difficult. My mom once said: "Get a normal education and then do whatever you want". So, I took her advise, and became an engineer as a way to gain my freedom.
Years passed, and my artistic soul persisted. After pursuing a "normal" education as advised, I embraced my true calling as a soap maker.
After moving to LA and experiencing skin troubles due to the different climate, I embarked on a quest for a solution. During the day, I tackled technical challenges for the US military, but when the sun set, my passion took center stage as I dove into the world of soap, scrubs, and magical formulations. Countless lotions and creams later, I delved into the science of skincare, and SoapyMania was born in 2014 – a Handcrafted Soap Boutique where engineering and creativity harmoniously coexist.
I was able to combine my deep understanding and knowledge of engineering and science with my growing creativity and artistry. My life has been more colorful and I haven't looked back since!
Today, I'm proud to say that my products have gained recognition and can be found in esteemed establishments such as Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Mother's Market, Lazy Acres, and Sprouts throughout the nation. It's truly fulfilling to witness the reach and impact of my creations.
I am genuinely thrilled to form new connections and share my wealth of knowledge in business with you.
Let's embrace this exciting journey of friendship and learning together!
