I am a Polish Folk dancer and certified choreographer. My hobbies have inspired a deep love for folklore and learning about the history and stories behind people and their cultures.

Education
(BA hons) Graphic DesignManchester School of Art
- Manchester, United Kingdom
Studied for 3 years. In my second year I began taking on more ambitious, complex projects to improve my Adobe knowledge and overall design skills. I also began volunteering to lead group pitches and presentations and was commended for my calm and confident tone and presence.
In my third year I continued pitching and public speaking, and focused my work primarily on the theme of European folklore as it was a sentimental subject, and this can be seen in my final work. During my university time I also joined the Ballroom and Latin dance society, and was elected their team captain.
Foundation Diploma in Art and DesignLondon College of Communication, UAL
- Elephant and Castle, London, UK
Post A Levels, I studied at LCC for my foundation diploma in Art and Design. It was during this time I was first introduced to the Adobe design software and would often spend late evenings there teaching myself how to use the programs and various creative techniques. I found it a very intense and productive year and thoroughly enjoyed being in London as for me it's both a comforting, and an inspiring, exciting city.
