She was born on December 4, 1999, in the village of Chyrak, located in the Issyk-Kul region.
Currently, Gulayim is married and lives in Ak-Döbö, where she raises two daughters and works as a kindergarten teacher at a local preschool.
After finishing school, where she studied until the 11th grade, Gulayim underwent 10 months of training in the specialty of "seamstress-tailor" at vocational college No. 94 in Bishkek.
In the same year, she studied in the "cook-confectioner" department at college No. 91, and during the summer worked in a sewing workshop, and in winter — in a confectionery, gaining valuable experience. Then Gulayim completed a three-month course on leather goods production with Zamira Moldoshova.
At the moment, she is in her second year at the I. Biibosunov College in Karakol and is actively engaged in handicrafts, painting, and creating bas-reliefs, which she sells.
Since childhood, Gulayim has been passionate about creativity. Her mother was a seamstress, and it was from her sewing machine that Gulayim began to sew in the 3rd or 4th grade. There were also artists in her father's family, and her great-grandfather on her mother's side was renowned for his woodworking skills. Gulayim believes that these talents are passed down from generation to generation.
Previously, she created leather bags and jewelry, and after getting married and having children, she started sewing beldemchi (national skirts) and selling them. Currently, her focus is on creating bas-reliefs. She purchases materials for her work from construction stores, and the price of her works starts from 6000 soms, depending on the size. Gulayim also plans to engage in large-format works on walls.
According to Gulayim, she finds time for handicrafts, painting, and bas-reliefs even after work and on weekends: "Although there isn't much time, I try to fulfill orders. Sometimes I perform at celebrations and sing 'Zhar-zhar'.
She runs a social media page and once posted a video of herself putting bread in the oven, which led to new orders — now she also sells bread baked in the oven.
Gulayim lives in the village with her husband's relatives, including her mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and children. For five years, she has been happy in her new marriage, and her family actively supports her endeavors.
"I am constantly looking for new inspiration and opportunities for self-realization," she says. "My dream is to have my own house, open a workshop, and conduct courses for women, teaching them the craft."
