I graduated in Industrial Design and later transitioned into Interior Architecture, where I am currently completing my Master’s degree. My background in product design shaped my structured, detail-oriented way of thinking, while working with space allowed me to engage more deeply with atmosphere and the experience of environments as a whole. I’m interested in space as a relational and multisensory experience, shaped by context, light, air, material, and subtle transitions. My design process is grounded in research and observation, with a strong focus on sustainability and interventions that respond to both people and place.
Alongside design, I work professionally in ballet and modern dance, which strongly influences how I understand space through movement.
I also enjoy painting, ceramics, and cooking, all of which inform my creative process.

CONTEST PROJECT
/ designed with Magdalena Wójcik /
Duration: 2 months, 2024
DESCRIPTION
This project was developed as a ready-to-drink (RTD) glass bottle concept, with the aim of rethinking how consumers experience pre-mixed beverages. Our intention was not only to design a functional container, but to transform the drinking ritual into something more engaging and interactive.
The core innovation of the project is the cap mechanism. We designed a special closure that, when tightened, pierces a sealed membrane inside the bottle, allowing two separate liquids to mix only at the moment of activation. This solution preserves freshness while giving the user the feeling of preparing their own drink.
During the design process, we focused on balancing technical feasibility with a strong visual identity. The bottle’s dynamic contours and sculptural indentations reflect the movement of the liquid, reinforcing both the concept of fluidity and the premium character of the product.
This concept was created as a competition project for the Glassberries Design Awards in 2024. The project received two distinctions: the Honorable Glassberry Award from The Coca-Cola Company and the Audience Award, voted for by participants during the award events.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful design and technical innovation can transform a simple RTD bottle into an engaging and memorable experience.
