Hi, I’m Alena (pronounced Alyona)— designer, stylist and artist in very sense with a background in costume design for film and theater.
My journey began in a small Russian town, where I earned degrees in Historical Costume Design and later Strategic Marketing. After summer internships in local theaters, I moved to the U.S. at 21 and got my first summer job in fashion retail.
A spontaneous trip to Budapest in 2019 became a turning point when I landed my first job in Hollywood film productions. Over the next six years, I worked on major projects for Amazon, Netflix, Marvel, and more—rising through roles within a costume department.
I later became lead stylist for U.S. short commercials, working between Los Angeles and Budapest teams, shooting all over Europe. I handled everything from style boards and budgeting to sourcing and dressing.
Beyond costume and fashion, I model, take on small acting roles, and express myself through painting—my artworks are featured in various Budapest venues.
Art and costume design are the languages I use to speak to the world.
