TEdx
Speaker
I was chosen to be one of the student speakers for the TEDx conference organised by the University of Strathclyde. The idea behind my speech "So you draw, right?" came from everyday life situations when newly met people would ask me if I can draw after hearing I'm a designer. I spoke about creativity, curiosity, empathy, and challenges. You can watch the whole speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLXD4MsCt74&ab_channel=TEDxTalks

PLUG - Polish Tech Link
Head of Design
PLUG is a global community of Polish entrepreneurs, creatives and other professionals active in the new technology sector.
I'm a leading designer responsible for the visual development of the brand, creating social media visual content. I was responsible for designing a visual identity for the Polish Tech Day in London, which is one of the most prestigious events about Polish new technologies outside of Poland.
This job became my first experience of working remotely and being the only designer in the team. It though me a lot about communication and team-work alongside with deepening my knowledge about successful branding and marketing.
