CAREER STATEMENT
I have worked as: a colour and trim specialist, later as an industrial designer developing products based on marketing briefs. Now I am creating my own briefs based on users’ needs. As a next step I would like to coordinate a team of designers and develop products that would shape the future.

I feel most natural in the role of the intermediator. Lets call it a CONCEPT ARCHITECT that extracts the new ideas out of the conducted research and guides the designer to create the final design proposal.

PROFESIONAL SUMMERY

I have over 8 years of international experience collaborating with design consultancies and in-house design/innovation labs, designing and developing wide variety of products from car accessories, colour and material trim to electronics, toys, consumer goods and recently new concepts for bathroom products.

PERSONAL DESCRIPTION
I am a Polish Industrial Designer with working experiece in Germany and Taiwan, currently living and working in Barcelona.By day, I design new products concepts for Roca Innovation Lab.

By night, you’ll find me making shoes in little studio in Poble Sec, practicing martial art, baking or trying to figure out how this blog works. Given half a chance, you’ll find me walking through Collserola Park rushing to get home before the sunset, looking out for wild boars hiding in the bushes, or out at my philosophy class near Portal de l’Àngel. I occasionally try my hand at organizing creative caterings for friends expositions and other events.
