I am an interdisciplinary creative from Lithuania, currently based in Vilnius. Over the years, I have built expertise in cultural production, communication design and maintained a vibrant creative practice. Since graduating in fine arts, I have dedicated myself to the production, curation and communication of cultural projects. I have gained experience working with galleries, museums, artist-led initiatives and independent art spaces across Europe, including Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, and Portugal. As I love seeing things take shape from scratch, the heart of my practice is a commitment to supporting cultural ecosystems. My aim is to help build a lively and thriving cultural scene wherever I am.

I joined the 30UNDER30 program because I wanted to expand my knowledge beyond the approaches I had learned and applied so far. My background being fine arts and not curatorship or art history, I was eager to learn from experts in the field, especially those who balance independent cultural work within institutions with a personal artistic practice. Soon after entering the program, I experienced rapid changes in my personal and professional life: I moved back to Lithuania after living in Lisbon for the past 4 years and began a new position as a communication designer in a museum. During this transition, the program proved incredibly helpful. With monthly masterclasses and a supportive community of creative professionals, I felt that my presence and ambitions were recognised and validated and I was glad to grow my network in the process.

My connection with my mentor, Tristana Perroncel, has been a grounding experience from day one. I am grateful for her care, honesty and commitment, offering not only practical tools but also perspective and reassurance when needed. Our conversations have helped me recognise my strengths and approach my next steps with less anxiety and more intention. Overall, this mentorship has given me clarity, direction, and a renewed sense of confidence. It has encouraged me to trust the path I am building and to continue contributing thoughtfully to the cultural field.
