A Childhood Dream Becomes a Career
Maria Furdychka’s modeling story began long before she stepped onto global stages. Growing up in Ukraine, she was captivated by beauty contests she watched with her father as a child. By seven, she was entering competitions herself, planting the seeds of a lifelong passion. At 15, she joined a modeling agency in Kyiv, quickly becoming a rising star in fashion shows, editorials, and international pageants.
Achievements That Defy Borders
Maria’s accolades read like a passport stamped with ambition. She’s been crowned Queen of the World, named Miss Moscow, and won top titles at prestigious contests in New York. Yet, she never saw these wins as an endpoint. “At some point, I thought I had achieved everything I could,” she admits. “But I realized I wanted more—I wanted to work with the world’s biggest fashion and jewelry brands.”
Beyond the Spotlight: A Heart for Giving
Maria’s success extends far beyond beauty. Now based in Dubai, she’s built a thriving career in real estate, closing multi-million-dollar deals and gaining financial independence. But she views her success as a means to give back. She dreams of creating a specialized children’s hospital for kids with autism and serious illnesses, a vision born from her deep love for charity work. “Helping children is where my heart truly is,” she says.
Trusting Intuition, Following the Flow
Maria credits her journey to a mix of intuition and universal guidance. She chooses projects not based on hype, but on resonance with her values and vision. This mindset has shaped her career’s evolution—from modeling to entrepreneurship, and soon, luxury product design.
Crafting Luxury Atmospheres
Today, she serves as the Marketing and Events Manager for Aroma360 UAE, a luxury home fragrance brand that has quickly become her passion. Her journey with the company began over a year ago—not in marketing, but in real estate, where she helped launch their very first store in Dubai Hills Mall. It was there that she fell in love with the brand’s vision and craftsmanship.
What started as a role became a calling. She now dreams of seeing Aroma360 become a signature scent across the Middle East—especially in Dubai’s most beautiful homes. That dream is what inspired her to step into her current position, determined to elevate the brand and shape its presence across the region.
The Future: Perfume with Purpose
The next chapter in Maria’s story is as bold as her runway walk. She’s launching “Maria,” a signature fragrance in collaboration with the legendary French perfume house Ausmane. Designed to capture her essence, the scent is poised to make waves in global markets.
Redefining What Success Means
For Maria, success isn’t about trophies or titles; it’s about inspiration. She wants her journey to show others that beauty can coexist with intelligence, ambition, and compassion. Her life is a blueprint for breaking barriers, embracing individuality, and creating meaningful change—one crown, one deal, and one act of kindness at a time.
