Artist, designer, craftswoman. Her artistic and design work is based on a deep understanding of the material in order to fully exploit its technological, visual, and symbolic potential. It is important for her to push the boundaries of ceramic craftsmanship in search of new forms of expression, meanings, and relationships between matter and the creator.
She graduated with honors in Interior Design (CSW Znaki Czasu, Toruń 2021) and from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław (2023, Ceramic Art and Design).

She gained experience at the School of Art at the University of Wolverhampton (Erasmus+), at the Laima Ceramics studio in Latvia, at Guldagergaard – International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark, and at the Thiebaut Chagué studio in France.
Her works have been presented in Wrocław, Gdynia, Sopot, Piotrków Trybunalski, and Wałbrzych, during exhibitions such as the Piotrków Art Biennale, “Materia Prima,” and “Porcelana Teraz.”

Since 2024, she has been associated with the Bochiński Foundation, where she coordinates the “Halo Witryna” program, inviting young artists and craftsmen to present their original designs. Her solo exhibition “W nowym świetle” (In a New Light) took place during the Gdynia Design Days festival (2024).
