I graduated in Product Design BA and MA from the University of Arts in Poznań. My interests focus on user-centered design, ergonomics, responsibility and circularity. Through sketches, mockups and prototypes, I conduct a design process that meets the needs of the modern user.In my free time I practice various sports and I am a mountain hiking enthusiast. An active lifestyle translates into projects and unusual design thinking.
The inspiration for this topic was the observation of women tracking their menstrual cycles and hormonal health. The ability to monitor physiological signals allows women to understand their bodies and proactively care for their overall well-being. However, the solutions available on the market are often too clinical in their expression, which creates a barrier in this intimate routine and does not guarantee emotional comfort. Calm and intuitive monitoring of personal health biomarkers is possible thanks to the use of appropriate materials, technologies and forms. After analyzing the design problem, I created a complementary self-observation system. The combination of a smart wake-up lamp, a thermometer made of body-friendly medical silicone, and linen pajamas with an observational insert provides the user with a comprehensive solution. The aim of this project is to provide emotional comfort during morning routines and to encourage women to take up this preventive self-care, which has many health-promoting features, connects us with our natural biological rhythm and calms us down.
The inspiration for this topic was the observation of people swimming recreationally in open waters. The ability to store things while swimming allows you to cover long distances or swim independently without worrying about items left on the shore. However, the solutions available on the market do not provide the freedom of movement necessary in this dynamic activity and do not guarantee safety and comfort. Safe and convenient storage of personal items while swimming is possible thanks to the use of appropriate materials, technologies and forms. After analyzing the design problem, I created a modular backpack. The combination of a vest made of fabric that is friendly to exposed skin and a body made of material resistant to external conditions provides the user with a comprehensive solution. The aim of this project is to provide freedom while swimming and to encourage people to take up this activity, which has many health-promoting features, connects us with nature and calms us down.
