I embarked on my design journey at the age of 17, starting with short internships at renowned advertising agencies such as Opus B, Brandman, and Adluna in Cracow, Poland, as well as gaining international experience with Grupo Actialia and The Zoom Agency in Barcelona, Spain.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work across a wide range of industries, including gaming, AI, Web3, and fintech. Along the way, I fell in love with product development, which naturally led me to the Product Manager path, where I've built and scaled digital products for companies like ZEN.COM and Ringier Axel Springer Polska.
I specialize in generating photorealistic AI video, serving as a Creative Partner for leading platforms such as Flora AI and OpenArt. Combining my deep background in visual design, storytelling, and emerging technologies, I help brands and products push the boundaries of modern AI-driven creation.
I hold a Master's degree in Management and focus my work at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy, bridging creative ideas with scalable business outcomes while continuing to build global projects.
In 2024, I won first place in the national innovation marathon “DESIGN + TECH = BUSINESS | Akademicki Maraton Innowacji”, where I led the project team, coordinated research and partnerships (including with Yanosik), and handled both product and UI/UX design. I was also recognized by vivo, winning their documentary filmmaking competition.
Beyond product and tech, I stay active across Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch, sharing my travel content. I also founded one of the first Photowalk communities in Spain, connecting content creators through shared visual experiences.
