My name is Alyona Alshaeva, a Russian-born home décor and textile artisan with a background in web development. I spent nearly four years developing and maintaining the website for NTV, a major media company in Russia, before moving to the U.S. in 2018 to start a family. While awaiting my green card and navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I turned my passion for crafts into a business, specializing in seasonal crafts and customized young children’s attire in Orlando, Florida. Now I'm based in the Jacksonville/Saint Augustine area, I continue to create while also exploring opportunities to return to web development.
