Rodika's journey in fashion began when she was a child. She would have dreams with fancy dresses and in the morning she would sketch them and create new designs. It was a sign that she was meant to be a fashion designer. Rodika was always asking for fabric scraps from an atelier in her hometown village in Moldova. But life happens and she chose another path in her life. She came back to fashion when she was 28 years old. She took sewing, pattern drafting and design classes. Rodika continued to chase her dreams, moved to Vancouver and enrolled in a Fashion Design College. Her first attempt to start a Fashion Brand back in her country was in 2014 and a few months later she moved to Canada. After taking a break, she relaunched Goreea (in Canada) in June 2018. One year later, she had to pause her brand again for one year. She got back to her dream in 2020 because she will never give up.
