ABOUT
I am a communication designer focusing on digital experiences, UX, UI, and branding. Through my work with clients from cultural and commercial sectors, I have developed a broad range of skills including art direction, book design, exhibitions, websites, social media, data visualization, and animation and 3D. I work in close collaboration to deliver expressive, clear and functional solutions.
BACKGROUND
Originally from Poland, I have lived in the Netherlands and the United States, and am currently based in Munich as an art director for design studio Moby Digg and parallel leading her own practice. I hold a bachelor of Crossmedia Design from ArtEz Academy of Art and Design, and graduated with a Masters of Information Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2014. From 2015 to 2016, I was the Design Fellow at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. I worked with Mainstudio, Onomatopee, Here and There, Van Abbemusuem, Huncwot, Baltan Laboratories, Serviceplan Innovation Team. I am a member of the editorial team at Fictional Journal—an online publication investigating design’s involvement within society.

The project index contains both commissioned and studio-based projects. Studio ones include—in most respects—a project team with different talents and responsibilities in a joint collaboration. All projects labeled with an agency name were designed and created during my employment there → It’s not a one-man show. Credit where credit is due.
