ABOUT
Best childhood memories!
CHILDHOOD
Born and raised in the majestic mountains of Tienshan in Almaty (Kazakhstan) I lived far away from the big city in a tiny village solely created for the astrophysicists and their families
working and living there.
Growing up with an astrophysicist as a father and a teacher, musician and artist as a mother, I got a wide range of world views, scientific thinking, and creativity input that fueled my curiousity about the world and different cultures.

Growing up with an astrophysicist as a father and

wide range of world views, scientific thinking,
and creativity input that fueled my curiousity
about the world and people.
Spending most of my time in nature with my best friend (my sister) I loved exploring every detail, every sound, every scent.
The vast untouched landscapes of the nature surrounding me gave me a sense of freedom that I never would forget
and always would strive for.
In 1992, my family and I moved to Germany after the collapse of the Sowjet Union which had a big impact on me.

BECOMING A MUSICIAN
In Kazakhstan, my sister and I used to sing and dance to my mother playing her Accordion while
she sang old Russian love balads.
We used to sing in harmonies a lot which gave me a sense of what good music sounds like.
My mom made sure we had a private piano teacher which was the time I fell in love with the piano.
It was an old black, slightly out of tune piano with heavy wooden keys.
In Germany, I waited years for a piano while I finished my music school degree in Accordion.
When I had the piano keys under my hands, I started practicing 5 hours a day, classics, modern, Jazz,
and soon started to compose my first instrumental pieces at the age of 11.
I started writing lyrics and Soul/Jazz songs that I would record on Cassettes.
Joining the school choir allowed me to develop my singing voice and become a voice teacher at the age of
16 teaching singers and bands.
I decided to study musicology and linguistics.
During my studies, I joined the university choir to deepen my skills as a singer and vocal coach.
I gained a degree in Southeast Asian languages: Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, Dutch.
During studies, I worked as an editor and translator in an international multi-million dollar publishing company
in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
The insights and editing skills I gained on how a magazine is created, edited, branded, printed, published,
and advertised gave me ideas and goals for my own businesses and also made me realize that a corporate job is not for me.
My degree in musicology helped me understand music on a scientific level and recognize parallels with colors when it comes
to frequencies, vibration, and energy. And while the principles of harmony are not transferable and the impact of music on the body is different compared to colors they are based on the same laws of physics and biology.

BECOMING AN ARTIST
BECOMING AN ARTIST
Art, drawing, painting, sculpting, designing, and creating art from any material that I get
my hands on will always be a passion of mine.
In early childhood, I developed my skill in thousands of hours of practice to find my artistic voice.
In school, I joined the pro art course and learned even more about the endless possibilities to create. And
because my teacher loved everything I did I had the freedom to develop the most complex art pieces.
My teacher and students battled who would bid more for my art to buy but I was too attached to my art
and since my business mindset wasn´t even born yet - I never sold anything.
The first time I got in touch with color theory, color psychology, color harmony, design, and branding was in that professional art course which allowed me to become a brand and style consultant.
After struggling with my own style and which colors to wear as a kid and teen while being involved in fashion design I researched the seasonal color analysis in-depth in hopes to find my color type and best colors but utterly failed in doing so.
I knew I could create a more accurate system as I started to become aware of more people who were frustrated about the seasonal color analysis.
I started researching everything about fashion design, color analysis, color theory, physics, how the human body works, psychology, western & eastern medicine, ayurveda, color therapy, and more to then creating the first science-based color analysis method.
This also included being trained by my dad who is a doctor in physics/astrophysics and my mom who is an artist.
The personalized Ray Colors that I develop for my clients are specifically designed to help them look and feel radiant and healthy on the outside and inside.
BECOMING A WRITER
I loved writing stories and novels ever since we came to Germany and my German teacher noticed that.
She encouraged me to take part in a writing competition which I won and decided to publish my story to several
magazines and newspapers. To my surprise, all magazines published my story and paid me.
I earned my first money at the age of 12.
My love for writing and the encouragement of my followers on Youtube has inspired me to write a book about my color analysis method. This is a major project that I have started and I can´t wait for you to hold that book in your hands.

BECOMING A WRITER
THE BIG LEAP OF FAITH
After I finished my Bachelor in Musicology and Linguistics - while I became a single mother of 2 - I decided
to take a really BIG leap and become an entrepreneur.
I left Germany in 2021 to become a digital nomad during the Pandemic. I decided to freeschool my kids according
to their gifts and passions and help them build their own businesses.
The freedom I was looking for...I found it.
It is my mission to share it with you since freedom fosters healing.
And healing can start with the colors you are wearing.
