Meet the PixelPool global team

Iliyana Boeva already knew when she graduated high school that she wanted to work in the fashion industry. What she didn't know was that she'd one day be working with 3D and digital fashion and loving it. At PixelPool she serves as a Senior 3D Virtual Fashion Specialist in the Sofia, Bulgaria office.

What did you study and why?

I graduated with Honors in Fashion Design (BA) from the University of Leeds in the UK. I have always been passionate about fashion and when it came to deciding my future education after high school, I had no doubt what I would do.

What drew you to your current job at PixelPool? 

The fashion industry isn’t typically the easiest one for graduates to break into. I applied to many different internships around the world and went to many interviews but couldn’t find a place that felt like a fit. When I saw the PixelPool job opening I was instantly drawn to what the company was doing. I hadn’t heard about 3D fashion before. Since I’ve been working in the industry with PixelPool I couldn't be happier that I chose this path. I have learned a lot. When I started, I was a Junior Virtual Fashion Specialist. Now, as a Senior 3D Virtual Fashion Specialist, I train others and lead a team.

What is your favorite part of your job?

My position is very diverse. For example, I am constantly researching new, or upgrading old workflows, to make them the most efficient and to cover all our clients’ needs and expectations. After creating those workflows, I hand them to the team and help them understand and learn how to execute them. That gives me an opportunity to pass my knowledge onto others. I’m often in direct communication with clients where I present them with options and solutions on how to execute certain tasks to achieve the best results using Dtail. I would say that’s my favorite activity because it combines research, testing, and decision-making.

What is your favorite hobby?

During the summer my favorite hobby is scuba diving. The sea is quiet and mostly peaceful. Every time I go diving I can relax and recharge. It feels like an entirely different world.

Which person in your profession do you most admire and why?

There are so many talented and creative people within PixelPool and it's a pleasure to observe their work. I value that we are all learning from one another and helping each other grow every day.

What excites you about the future of PixelPool?

The digital fashion world is just starting to develop. The big picture reveals so much more to come, and I am most excited to see us achieve even more – serve more brands and help expand digital solutions within the industry.
