How did you get interested in your skill?
During my last school years I worked in a little clothing store as a shop assistant.
They had no extra merchandising department and so I did everything about the decoration in
this shop but I didn’t know that it is a profession. My friend told me about this after I told her
that I like to do this decoration works but I don’t want to be seller.
