Kalina Petrauskas
Artist, Designer, and Consultant in SF
I’m Kalina. I’m originally from Vilnius, where I grew up near Gediminas Tower.
I have a background in fashion and business. After graduating from Vilnius University, I spent time in Paris studying fashion, which really shaped my perspective on design, quality, and craftsmanship.
I started my career in womenswear design, including time with Dior, and later built my own business in beauty retail in Europe, growing it into multiple locations.
I moved to the U.S. in 2018 and am now based in San Francisco. In 2019, I founded my own private atelier, focusing on custom-made clothing for clients who appreciate fit, quality, and understated elegance.
Alongside fashion, I’m also involved in business and investments, particularly in real estate and cross-border asset management. These days, I keep a flexible lifestyle and focus on projects that I genuinely enjoy.
I’d describe myself as independent and straightforward, but also very genuine once you get to know me. I value personal growth, meaningful connections, and a balanced lifestyle.
Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, skiing, traveling, wine, and exploring different cultures. I also like reading and following the markets—it keeps me curious and inspired.
I believe style is a quiet way to express who you are without saying too much.
