Toronto’s Most Eligible Bachelorette Tatiana with TSOQ style
Tatiana describes herself as creative, vibrant, loving, humble.
Tatiana was born in Belarus in the family of a famous Belarusian artist Victar Barabantsev, who recently was named an honoured artist in Belarus.
From early childhood she was surrounded by paintings, the aroma of paint, and easels at home and in her dad’s art studio where he was working on his creations. This creative artistic environment highly influenced her upbringing and from early years she knew art would be a big part of her life.
As a child, Tatiana enjoyed designing fashion collections and making outfits out of any material she could come across which led her to pursue an education in fashion design. After graduating with honors from the fashion design program, she designed hats for the largest millinery factory in Belarus and participated in fashion runways as a young, up-and-coming designer.
Traveling and an eagerness to see the world brought Tatiana to Canada. After immigrating, her passion for design and fashion brought her into the visual merchandising field where she would create window displays, style clothing and create an engaging in-store environment to enhance customer experience and brand positioning. She loves the always changing creative aspect of her job which keeps her busy and never gets boring. Her clients vary from high-end Italian brands like Eleventy in Yorkville to gelato shops by Toronto’s waterfront.
Being a Gemini, Tatiana has many interests and loves being social, traveling, exploring new places and nature. She is very passionate about yoga and meditation which has become a big part of her lifestyle and helps her stay grounded and find balance in her busy life. She is always happy to share her practice with others. Tatiana also models, and has been featured in various prints, magazines, calendars, commercials, runways and has won the title Miss Russian Supermodel in Canada. An AirBnb superhost, she loves hosting international visitors and students to contribute to their Canadian experience.
Tatiana recently found a new passion in her new venture. She partnered with the #1 skincare brand in North America, Rodan and Fields, and is growing her team by recruiting passionate individuals who are open to a side-hustle on their path to success and greater financial independence. As a single mom and immigrant with two dependant daughters, she knows first hand that your future is in your own hands and it’s up to you what you want to make out of it.
Tatiana’s lifestyle keeps her busy. She is often working on multiple projects and events, wearing many hats. But no matter what life throws at her she always has time for the main priorities in her life; 2 adorable daughters, a lovely puppy named Maisy, and amazing friends who have always been a support system.
