Nataliya Naymark<\/strong> operates a solo design studio, with the majority of her winnings stemming from interior design projects.

Interview with the 2023 MUSE Design Awards Winner \u2013 Nataliya Naymark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed my bachelor’s degree in economics, specializing in institutional economics. Afterward, when I decided to pursue a career in furniture design, I began researching universities that offered relevant programs. To gain admission to a university in Moscow, one must submit drawings that include compositions, portraits, human figures, columns, and landscapes. I embarked on the journey of learning how to draw, and I’m still working hard to improve my skills. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enroll in university as I also needed to focus on passing my school exams, and the workload was overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed multiple courses, including “Kibardin Creative Synergy” and “Furniture Design for Beginners Online Short Course” offered by Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London. I am also an avid user of online learning platforms and have engaged in various programs on edX. Among them, my preferred course is “Fundamentals of Manufacturing Processes” by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, I participated in courses provided by Coursera, such as “Modern Art & Ideas” by The Museum of Modern Art, and took advantage of international courses from openedu, with my favorite being “History of Design” offered by HSE University. Since 2019, I have completed more than 20 different courses, and my ongoing passion lies in studying the History of Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very much engaged in practical work by undertaking multiple interior projects, for each of which I designed furniture. To enhance my understanding of lighting, I participated in the “Practice with Women in Lighting” program and contributed to various museum exhibitions. In terms of sketches and technical drawings, I have created over 30 collections of furniture and lighting, comprising more than 30 individual pieces and over 30 unique tiles. To showcase my graphic skills related to tiles and carpets, I designed New Year’s postcards for the past two years, each featuring one of my carpet and tile designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my time in school, I had the opportunity to participate in excursion courses to various museums in Moscow, including the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, The State Tretyakov Gallery, the Armoury Chamber, National Museum of Art of Peoples of the East, and many more. Surprisingly, when I took a career aptitude test in school, I scored higher in the arts than in math. Despite excelling in math and physics classes and even winning awards in those subjects, my inclination towards the arts wasn’t apparent to my teachers and parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, I received a recommendation for an architectural program, even though I had no experience in drawing. I did have a solid foundation in technical drawing due to eight years of obligatory coursework in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, my academic journey led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in digital marketing. I thoroughly enjoyed my work as a UX strategist in a creative company, where I delved into usability and understanding people’s needs and dreams. We executed remarkable marketing campaigns for clients like Unilever and various automotive companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as I entered my thirties, I realized that my true passion still lay in architecture. Growing older allowed me to better understand my strengths and weaknesses. I became acutely bothered by inaccuracies in measurements, and I felt that architecture would present a challenging yet fulfilling pursuit. I then made the decision to pursue a career as a furniture designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
