Shaped by stories. Inspired by design.
Karolina
Designer and art director crafting brand identities, presentations, and visual systems rooted in clarity and story.
I’m a visual storyteller and design thinker with over 20 years of experience in graphic design, marketing, and advertising. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — from brand and identity designer to art director for global brands, and even furniture designer, spending long days perfecting form and function with my hands. These diverse experiences have sharpened my eye for detail and strengthened my belief that the best design is both simple and human-centered.
I bring extensive expertise in presentation design, crafting decks that simplify complexity, engage audiences, and drive results. I’m at my best when translating big ideas into clear, impactful visuals and collaborating with people — clients, stakeholders, and teammates — to bring them to life.
My journey began in Poland, where I grew up before moving to Chicago at age 15. After earning my BFA from Columbia College Chicago, I launched my career working with major clients headquartered there. While I’m always excited by what’s new and innovative, I’ve carried with me a deep appreciation for simplicity and clarity, both in life and in design.
When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me in nature, reading a good book, or cooking for friends and family.
