… most people know me as Misha Skova. My journey started in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia, where as a young child, my mother and I courageously fled persecution, spending two challenging years in a refugee camp in Salzburg, Austria, before finally finding safety in the USA and new beginnings in California. These formative experiences taught me resilience, compassion, and the profound value of freedom and creativity.

My early years in fashion began on the runway, where I worked in NYC and lived in Barcelona and Cape Town, modeling and quickly falling in love with the transformative power of style, aesthetics, and visual storytelling. But I knew my calling went beyond modeling—I had dreams to create meaningful brands that reflect authenticity, sustainability, and purposeful living.

In 2008, I founded SKOVA, starting as a luxury jewelry line inspired by my studies at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). SKOVA soon evolved into a globally recognized lifestyle brand, celebrated for its luxurious, vibrant beach essentials, including towels, blankets, and beautifully designed umbrellas. My passion for holistic wellness and mindful living led me to create SKOVA SOUL, a direct sales company empowering women to buy and sell jewelry through my platform, infusing each product with intention and spiritual awareness.

I also co-founded La Vie Boheme Yoga, where we revolutionized the yoga community with artistically printed yoga mats, thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity and spiritual connection. Additionally, my partnership with the ethical fashion brand LACAUSA underscores my commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and responsible consumerism, proudly made in the USA.

Recognizing my passion and extensive experience in brand building and design, I launched BrandBloom360 to guide fellow entrepreneurs and business owners from concept to market-ready, standout brands. Through mentorship and collaboration, I’ve helped many entrepreneurs transform powerful ideas into thriving businesses.

I’m deeply committed to empowering women, advocating for refugees, and championing sustainability. It is my greatest joy to inspire others to believe in their own dreams and pursue their passions fearlessly.

I warmly invite you to connect with me, collaborate, and join this journey of creating meaningful change and beautiful communities together.

Let’s build something extraordinary!
