"Olga teaches you how to think holistically when it comes to furniture design from concept to shape, material, texture, patterns, joinery, up until you reach to the smallest screw and where to place it! But most important she teaches you how to tell a story with your design which is something I will always remember when designing furniture." - Ghadeer Dajani (Jerusalem, Palestine)
"Olga, was one of my very first teachers in the Interior Design field, and certainly one of the best. Her competence, passion, determination and willingness to help her students amazes me till this day. Olga, might be intimidating at first, especially for someone who is just starting their education. But it's is only because she takes her work very seriously and fully understands what an impact she makes on students in a long run. Beside her personal qualities, the deep knowledge of the subject she teaches is incredible. She was and is my best teacher in the subject of Furniture design. She is the reason that today I hold a deep passion for furniture and product design, and hope to pursue it further in the near future." - Elisabeth Bitcheva (Miami, USA)
