PCC: Tell us about yourself.
TPQ: My name is Olga. I am 31 years old and i come from Athens, Greece. I have a day job, as a preschool teacher for kids with special needs. At the same time, I run my brand
"The Pinqueen".
PCC: What do you Create?
TPQ: The Pinqueen is the brand name for the ready to wear accessories / clothing line I create. My ideas pinned on fabrics! Whether you like purses or scarfs, geometric lines or curves, simple stripes or explosions of color... You can find it all here.
PCC: What made you want to become a designer?
TPQ: I always watched as a game people's styling, from lines to textiles. I believe that what we wear (clothing or accessories) brings along a small piece from ourselves.
At some point, i just realized how much I wanted to create something special with my own hands, to begin with an idea and realize it through every step I take.

TPQ: Texture is where my inspiration begins. So fabrics play the main role during the creation process. At the same time, the whole project shapes in my mind. I prefer to create ready to wear lines through specific concepts. I believe that a small product line gives people a clear image of my creations and at the same time gives me room for free thinking and organizing the whole process.
PCC: What Advice would you give to someone who wanted to make a living as an artist?
TPQ: I believe that selling online is a very tricky area and I am learning many interesting things I didn't imagine existed, from photographing a product to promoting it. If I could give any advice, it would be to always listen to more than one opinion, because another person's view may give you another perspective of your work.
PCC: Where do you show your work?

PCC: What are you passionate about outside your designs?
Three words come to my mind when someone asks me what makes me happy. Music, good taste and moments! Music is all around me and I think it defines every moment of my life. Good taste is what I am looking for everywhere from a small Greek tavern with simple clear tastes to a fine, delicate perfume/parfum. Of course, moments with your beloved ones or just people who at some point of your life gave you something simple and beautiful!
