Check Out Veronika Akhmatova’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Veronika Akhmatova.

Veronika, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
While studying, I began to carry out orders of fashion illustrations from design studios. Pretty quickly, I decided to open my own studio ”AhVero fashion illustration”, specialized in digital drawing method, which gives me the possibility to have a more dynamic and contemporary approach in my artistic sector and a direct contact, without intermediaries, with the needs of customers.

With the growth of experience and collaborations, my company has also grown accordingly, with an increase in my work staff, of which I became the creative director, who follows each of the studio’s projects.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it”.

Although I like to say that the profession chose me, of course no one ever achieves success smoothly.

You inevitably have to sacrifice a lot once you start your own company, You no longer fully belong to yourself, and your work becomes a 24/7 commitment.
Especially in a creative environment, where you constantly need to generate new ideas, you have to stay inspired, avoid creative crises and burnout. I think I manage this very well thanks to strong self-discipline and the support of my team.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I began my journey as a fashion illustrator, completely captivated by the visual language and aesthetics of fashion. Over time, my path naturally evolved into fashion design, driven both by creative growth and high industry demand.
Today, my studio mainly specializes in clothing design, visual concept development, and preparing everything required for the pre-production process.

We collaborate with brands at different stages, working both with clients’ existing concepts and developing brand concepts and DNA entirely from the ground up.

A few years ago, we expanded the studio by introducing a digital marketing department, allowing us to support our clients not only creatively, but strategically as well, helping brands shape their presence and communicate their vision more effectively.

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
For me, success is waking up in the morning feeling inspired by the things you have to do today.
It’s about creating a life’s work that completely matches who you are, a space where there is room for self-expression, recognition, and constant growth.

It’s also about being surrounded by people you genuinely enjoy, who share your values both in work and in life. And, of course, is when your efforts are rewarded fairly and proportionally to the work you put in, allowing you to live with a real sense of comfort and fulfillment.
