I’m a driven product design graduate from Central Saint Martins, RSA Student Design Awards winner and Pupil Design Awards Mentor, who strives to create solutions that bring joy into people’s lives.
Having lived in different countries across the world has allowed me to understand the importance of looking at the bigger picture: Life-centred design that not only positively impacts its users but also the wider context inspires me most. I believe that thorough research with users in their surroundings throughout the design process is the best way to strategically design with a vision for a better future. My general curiosity allows me to recognise connections and synthesise ideas to come up with concepts at that lie at intersection of different fields.

Education
Bachelor of Arts (honours)University of The Arts London (UAL)

BA Product and Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins believes that design is a process-driven activity. The course encouraged me to understand human behaviour before formulating creative and informed design responses. I was pushed to consider the impact of technology, environmental issues and cultural shifts in the development of my work.
I graduated with a First Class Honours Degree and a Programme Director's Award

The IB programme is two year long, throughout which I moved from Poland to the United States. This was a huge change in my life and due to differences in teaching and availability of courses in the two schools I had to to teach myself almost the entire second year and take online classes. I simultaneously also completed the American High School Diploma.

RSA Student Design AwardThe RSA
The RSA Student Design Awards challenges emerging changemakers across the globe to tackle complex issues facing business and society.
I worked on the ‘Beyond the Kitchen Table’ brief which challenged students to develop an inclusive kitchen product or spatial solution that enables people of diverse ages and needs to prepare and eat food, entertain, engage in hobbies or work and enjoy life together.
My project ‘Touchpoint’ was praised for its user-centred research and ‘life-changing’ solution.
