The Ruumy brand was created in 2017, an award-winning and internationally recognized concept, being an intersection of architecture, interior design, and fashion design.

The results of my creative thinking, meet the assumed mission criteria, and create the premises of a sustainable future by approaching a new way of perceiving reality as an integrative system: physical reality, virtual reality, augmented reality, communication technology, and the cultural elements Post Internet.
