INTERIOR DESIGN
A refined jewel box where every detail holds meaning.
Grounded in a masculine, classic palette—charcoal, white, and walnut—the space was softened by light wood millwork and a silky carpet. I played with quiet contrasts: dark leather with a hint of green, raw textures against high gloss, richness revealed only up close. Classic furniture silhouettes and timeless pieces are offset by crafted, modern touches.
A gorgeous Polish coffee table—a nod to my heritage—became the crown jewel, a piece the client loved instantly. A custom hand-hammered table lamp by a local maker added depth.
Styling was subtle and curated, with selected pieces that embraced the client’s collection and belongings, making the space feel layered, authentic, and lived-in. Every element was chosen with intention and care.

CREATIVE REVAMP
A sophisticated space reimagined to feel warmer, cozier, and more connected to its community.
The existing café was elegant and almost museum-like—beautiful but somewhat distant from the neighborhood vibe, needing more warmth and happiness.
To soften the rawness of the bare interior, I introduced a flowing custom-designed mural, created in close collaboration with a trusted graphic designer, alongside a curated mirror wall. Custom upholstery patterns and pillows extended this unique touch, adding comfort and personality. A mix of three mirror types—with geometric patterns and gold and antique finishes—added depth while honoring the space’s historical narrative and palette.
Every design choice respected and elevated the original concept, guiding it into a more expressive, layered, and more importantly - inviting space.

CREATIVE REVAMP
A strategic rebrand that transformed a hardware supplier into an inspiring, design-focused destination.
After a deep dive into the company’s inventory and client needs, I developed a spatial and visual identity that educates and elevates the brand for architects, designers, millworkers, and private clients.
Multiple zones were created—like a tactile board area organized by application and a home zones section showcasing innovative hardware systems and finishes. Custom millwork and curated graphics guided visitors intuitively, revealing product possibilities in real-life contexts.
The result is an elevated brand presence with engaging, purposeful spaces that educate staff and clients alike—bringing forward a fresh, creative side of the company never fully seen before.
SUBJECT | Cocktail Bar & Coffee Shop & Barber
SCOPE | Visual Concept, Space Planning, Branding Guidance & Permit Coordination
LOCATION | Poland 2019
VISUAL STORY
A bold visual concept sparked by a single word: NEON.
Designed for young, hip owners, this vibrant space combined a cocktail bar, barber, and coffee shop. I embraced the quirky hallway layouts, turning them into memorable features, while iconic neon signage and themed rooms bring energy and personality throughout.
After exploring three design directions—Artsy, Grunge, and Familiar—the chosen one evolved into a cohesive visual story. A simple, clever logo system tied the zones together without losing flow.
At the heart of the space, a sculptural light installation anchored the main sitting area, creating intimate, inviting zones. Playful, budget-conscious strategies proved how lighting, shape, and simple materials can amplify bold spirit.
I stayed hands-on from concept through execution—handling technical coordination, contractor recommendations, and compliance.

INTERIOR DESIGN
A timeless, elevated interior where every piece tells a story—and a few whisper something unexpected.
Designed for a deeply sophisticated client with a sharp eye and a clearly defined aesthetic, this home was built around an exceptional art collection. The selections were classic, never flashy, and curated with intention—each element chosen to complement the artwork without overshadowing it.
What made this project special was the opportunity to gently expand the visual language. Introducing a few unexpected touches—playful patterns, surprising textures, and subtle color shifts—sparked a new kind of dialogue within the space. Grounded and serene, yet layered with quiet moments of delight.
For a client who had seen and lived so much, the goal wasn’t to reinvent—but to reawaken curiosity. The result is a space that feels deeply personal, richly composed, and just a bit more alive.

INTERIOR DESIGN
A tech office transformed into a bold, layered workspace with warm, residential feel.
The design blends vintage charm and heritage touches with clean lines and a rich color palette, creating a dynamic space that beautifully complements the company’s art collection.
Layered textures, curated greenery, and sculptural furniture pieces bring personality and energy throughout. Collaboration with an exceptional architectural team introduced quiet elegance—concealed lighting, hidden speakers, and subtle architectural details unify décor and structure seamlessly.
Custom furniture solutions were crafted to integrate technology effortlessly while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic. From concept to completion, every decision was intentional—delivering a space that feels both precise and deeply inviting.

CREATIVE REVAMP
A full-scope brand refinement and expansion for an established German bakery with defined design identity.
Leading a multidisciplinary team, I guided the project from initial concept through permitting, construction, and grand openings—ensuring a seamless process across every stage.
Starting with site evaluations and lease support, the focus was refining and softening the existing design to create a cohesive, structured interior guideline adaptable for current and future locations. This playbook balances the brand’s local, homey vibe with elevated proposals for higher-end sites.
Over several years, the work included redesigning four existing stores and launching six new locations across Southern Poland, while supporting bids for additional expansions—delivering function and style tailored precisely to the client’s distinct clientele.
SUBJECT | Two-Story Apartment
SCOPE | Interior & Architecture Design, Construction Administration, Styling
LOCATION | Poland 2015
INTERIOR DESIGN
A timeless home where Scandinavian simplicity meets personal warmth.
This project began with a young couple’s first two-story apartment—an empty shell soon to be filled with life, as they prepared for a toddler and a new baby on the way. The goal was to create a space that felt cozy, warm, and authentic, all while staying within a set budget.
I designed the full layout, custom millwork throughout, and a statement staircase—carefully balancing function with thoughtful design. Local craftsmanship brought in meaningful touches and subtle pops of color, enriching the clean, Scandinavian aesthetic.
As their family grew, I returned to redesign the kids’ room and later crafted a complementary, distinct apartment for the client’s parents. Projects like this exemplify thoughtful design that supports life’s moments with care and intention.
