BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
I like the concept of 'design thinking' because I enjoy creating clever solutions, sharing my knowledge, and pondering the nature of things. That's why, at the University of Lodz, I work by connecting creative thinking with action by popularizing academic knowledge at the promotional department of Lodz University Press. I also enjoy networking and establishing new relationships to build collaborative spaces with other people.
Education-wise, I majored in history at the University of Lodz. After finishing my studies, I attended a post-graduate course in computer graphics at the Lodz University of Technology. I am also a creator of my very own brand of architectural puzzles – Archizo.
