My name is Sylwia, and I am an interdisciplinary architect and creative designer with over seven years of experience working across Poland, Denmark, and the Netherlands. I am applying for the Digital Designer position because I am intentionally shifting my career toward digital design — a direction that naturally extends my visual, conceptual, and communication-driven architectural background. Across my architectural career, design has consistently been at the core of how I think and create. I have always gravitated toward the design communication side of projects: developing visual narratives, conceptual strategies, and material stories that translate complex ideas into clear, engaging, and user-oriented content. My experience spans architecture, urban design, interior design, and material innovation, but the common thread is a strong ability to conceptualize, communicate, and design meaningful experiences. This transition is supported by my expertise in digital tools and visual storytelling. I work fluently with Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Revit, AutoCAD, V-Ray, Enscape, and Adobe Creative Suite, and I integrate AI workflows into research and design exploration. My interdisciplinary approach allows me to move seamlessly between creative ideation, aesthetic development, and precise technical execution — skills that align closely with digital design work. Founding thematerialstories, a design studio focused on visual storytelling and sustainable material innovation, strengthened my experience in digital content creation, brand development, visual identity, and narrative design. I design products and material-driven products, manage their digital presentation, and build the entire visual language of the brand. I manage all visual outputs for the brand: from conceptual direction to digital communication and strategy. I am motivated by design environments that value innovation, curiosity, and experimentation qualities I see reflected in Tylko. I want to contribute my ability to connect conceptual vision with clear digital expression, and to bring forward-thinking, sustainability-oriented, and user- centered design sensibility to your team with my creative mindset. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my interdisciplinary background can support your team's vision.
