Tcaci Evelina
Soooo...hope you enjoyed.
The Captain’s name is Evelina. I found myself at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism in Timisoara in 2019. How it happened, I can’t quite put into words, but I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Once a professor told me that I had found my place. These words remainds me every day where I belong. After three years of interior design, friends now call me a designer, but I prefer to say that I’m a budding interior architect.
