Before the invasion, Tetiana lived in Mariupol and worked in the service sector. She moved to Ivano-Frankivsk on 24 February 2022.

She opened a business inspired by her hometown. It was called DUSHA.

The owner says the name came to her instantly because this coffee shop symbolizes Mariupol, where her heart remains.

The objective is to demonstrate to visitors the city’s pre-war splendor and to establish a family-friendly venue in a residential area where patrons can socialize with their children and friends.

Tetiana is still developing her business. The coffee shop has been open for a year. During this time, the interior was improved, new equipment was purchased, the range of products was increased, and a summer terrace was set up.
