Who I am 

I can't stop daydreaming about creation since I love it so much. Ideas occur to me everywhere; I see silhouettes and forms in the crevices of walls, carpet patterns, and even in the garbage.

I am a custom luxury footwear designer and creator.

I obtained experience by mastering this craft in Italy and worked as a shoe designer in various companies in Italy and Israel throughout the years. In 2008, I launched my brand, "Sveta Kletina," of luxury footwear for women

Initially, I produced seasonal collections, but after a few years in the relentless cycle of mass production, I decided to change my direction. I felt a deep need to move toward sustainable fashion—a philosophy that cares for our environment and our quality of life. I slowed down, converting my process to slow footwear production. I became a solo bespoke maker, allowing me to create every pair individually, with a deeply personal approach to each client and design. This includes crafting truly one-of-a-kind footwear for those who wish to shine, for the individuals who want to possess a piece of wearable art that is theirs and theirs alone.

Parallel to this shift, in 2013, I established Shoemaking Classes Online. Empowering people around the world to make their shoes became a natural extension of my slow fashion philosophy.

Through the meticulous nature of bespoke work, I found my designs pushing beyond the boundaries of wearable footwear. My approach has always been sculptural, and this led me back to my origins as a creator. I began crafting sculptures rooted in footwear because for me, a shoe is never just a functional object. It is a part of our history, our culture, and is deeply connected to our very existence.

My ambition is to create sculptures that allow me to fully explore my passion for leather work and footwear, blending different materials, creating textures, and expressing ideas through forms. I aim to tell a story behind each work that may evoke different emotions and sensations, because I feel that only emotions can provide us with a genuine comprehension of this world and ourselves. Sculptures are my channel for creativity and self-expression, and I want you to join me on this trip.
