I am Polish/American and grew up in Chicago, but moved to Copenhagen, Denmark 4 years ago to pursue a Master's in Graphic Communication Design from The Royal Danish Academy. Art has always been a really vital part of my life - I have scribbled on walls when I first had the chance and have not stopped since :) Though I have two degrees in Graphic Design, my biggest passion has always been in illustration. I love using bright, vibrant colors and textures to tell unique stories in my work. A lot of my inspiration comes from daily life: breakfast plates, snapshots of museum visits, and memories from my travels. I believe my style would specifically be great for editorial and conceptual art, as well as for Children's books, but I am open to all kinds of projects. I've created two books of my own - both artistic books where I have designed, illustrated and written the content. I bring a lot of joy and positivity in my whimsical style and would love to bring this same energy to your clients!
