Madlen is a creative force of nature. With a degree in Art, a Bachelor's in Teaching Methods and Linguistics, a Master’s in Intercultural Psychology, and an MBA in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, she’s blended education and passion into one wild, inspiring journey. From a small Russian town to the vibrant streets of Shanghai, she’s worked as an English teacher, curriculum developer, art director, commission artist, and now — a tattoo artist. A fun fact is that she’s had a play written about her life (staged in Shanghai and Lisbon!), and her startup idea recently won 2nd place in a European competition. Honestly, it’s easier to say what she hasn’t done. Madlen is proof that creativity knows no borders, and she can't wait to meet you!
