Natalia Bakaeva

Born and raised in the Far East of Russia, Natalia has been making giant leaps across the globe – from Japan, through Moscow, from Spain to London, until finally landing in midtown Toronto. Bringing a wealth of experiences with her, she now spends her days and nights translating all of her soaked-up cultures into physical forms. Her openness and enthusiasm know no bounds when it comes to creation. Natalia also actively contributes to publications, conferences, and sessions about the use of energy-efficient resources. Having studied both architecture and construction management, Natalia has become an expert in designing and building her art, working full-time at an architectural firm and at her own design collective, Interspatial. Meeting new people is a huge part of her life as well. She finds new connections and ways to learn from everyone around her. Multiplying her knowledge and manifesting it physically is a non-stop process, where one project starts before the other one ends.
