Feed Overview

I am a graphic designer with a rich, multicultural background, having lived in Poland, England, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, and now the Netherlands. My diverse experiences across these countries have deeply influenced my creative approach, allowing me to draw inspiration from a variety of cultures, aesthetics, and design philosophies. I am passionate about pushing boundaries and thrive on challenging projects that require innovative thinking. 
    My practice focuses on dissection, observation, and the creation of new images through merging and (re)arrangement. I am interested in research-based design, especially projects that explore how images, and equally so the viewer, can be influenced by (re)contextualization. I also enjoy experimenting with colors and textures, often blending analog and digital techniques. Feel free to reach out for more about me or my projects!

    I am currently based in the Netherlands.
