INFO: LILY

I discovered a knack for photography through my interior design background. I’m an interior design student, approaching graduation. Design education opened my mind to ideas I'd never imagined. It has impacted my way of thinking and ways of working. I learned not only process of design, technical skills, and problem solving; I also learned the value of listening, understanding and communicating. I am able to hear out a client and bring their vision to life. While studying interior spaces, I discovered other areas of self-expression such as architecture, art, graphic design and photography-- which led me to Yuriy Manchik Photographers.

I love God--he’s my everything.

I love my boyfriend, Yuriy Gural--he completes me.

When everyday life in Seattle gets monotone I like to cross the border and walk the streets of Vancouver, BC.

I’m currently working on my interior design thesis project where I’m trying to wrap my mind around light and its essence.

I love New York.

My favorite color is black.

Tennis is my passion.

Coffee keeps me going.
