About
Born in 1992 in Gdańsk. Graduate of Architecture and Urban Planning at Gdańsk University of Technology, Interior Design at Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and Textile and Fashion Design at Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. She is passionate about foreign languages and nomadic lifestyle - during eight years period of her studies she participated in in various student exchange programmes, as well as in international design workshops. Additionally, she has worked as an intern not only in Poland but also abroad: in Berlin and Toronto.
The multidisciplinary, eight-year period of studies formed her approach towards design and her aesthetics. The field of textile which she discovered only towards the end of her education, turned out to be the most suitable medium for her self-expression. In her works, she often balances between art and design.
