My name is Doriana Draghici and  I am a self-taught doll maker and designer. Sewing and walking are the same for me; I probably started them in the same time…
 
My childhood was one rooted in tradition and culture, I was born and raised in Romania in a small village next to the Danube River where my grandmother used to be a seamstress, she taught me how to sew and make patterns. Being a grown up life pushed me to work for big corporations, leaving behind my meaning

Doll making came to me in 2010 when I wanted to start making different things for the little kids, this is how Doricica {the name of my brand} was born. Now I live and create in Leamington Spa for about 2 years. I love this city! It is very inspiring to me, full of stories.
