With the ambition that “beauty will save the world” ~ Dostoyevsky
and “this is it” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Highly inspired by the cutting edge of art, design, and sustainability, my work draws from contemporary collections as well as vintage, handmade, and one-of-a-kind sources.
I have no interest in ordinary, quick, predictable, or safe visual solutions — I am inspired by and curious about the real-life magic, the unexpected, intentional, and authentic storytelling.
Born in the wildest mountains of Poland, my aesthetics have been shaped by nature and by remarkable people I met while studying and working in New York for two decades — from musicians at the Bulgarian Bar on Delancey, to Louise Bourgeois’ Sunday Salons, to a private residency with Ursula von Rydingsvard, and many other extraordinary collaborators who held powerful and world-changing ideas while revealing their vulnerability.
I am an experienced and versatile Art Director, Senior Stylist, Creative Leader, and at times Designer and Artist, working across lifestyle, hospitality, home, beauty/wellness, and food. For over a decade, I served as Primary Stylist at ABC Carpet & Home in New York, leading creative direction and styling for photoshoots, catalogs, websites, e-commerce, social media, and culturally memorable events. My work has been featured in Vogue, WSJ Magazine, The New York Times, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, as well as on the menus with most wanted dishes. I’ve collaborated with some of the world’s unique brands, including Astier de Villatte, Lobmeyr, Ginori 1735, Serax, Coralla Maiuri, Glas Italia, Saba and others.
I co-developed and maintained ABC Carpet & Home’s visual aesthetic across five floors of retail space at ABC Carpet and Home flagship store, and three in-house restaurants with Jean-Georges Vongerichten - Abc Kitchen, Abc Cocina and Abcv. I’ve also consulted on and styled private and commercial spaces for clients including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Lucy Liu, Paulette Cole, and Patricia Assui Reed.
Now living between US and Europe, I freelance primarily for ABC Carpet & Home, Jean-Georges restaurants, and other forward-thinking brands in the US and Europe. I am always open to new projects and collaborations, hoping to connect with people for whom creativity is not a nice-to-have, but a commercial necessity and an intentional choice. I strongly believe in collaboration, entrepreneurial partnership, and ethical creative practice that also leaves room for play.
