I’m not always want to be a designer. But I studied in school where there was a lot of great designers like architecture, graphics, furniture designers and so on. Atmosphere of this school inspired me to looked close on that field.

Right now I don’t have any specific brand or company. I work as photographer and filmmaker in gallery of art in my city and sometimes as a freelancer.

I associate design with good quality, with transparency and with the thing I like most - a thought, an idea, a surprise expressed in the form of one thought.

Interior of the Polin Museum in Warsaw (Poland).Why? Everyone should visit this place and see for themselves :)

Every day I work in gallery of art in Poland. Me and my colleagues prepare exhibitions for artists. From promotion to interior design.

It comes to my on different times of days but I feel most creative when I listened to good music.

Has my concept been implemented? Is there any sense or deeper thought in all this?

To include social or ecological thought in all this. Design must serve society.

My last exhibition was in Poland, in the place where I work now, i.e. in the Gallery of Sleńdziński family in Białystok. The exhibition took place in 2018, and I would like to have the next one maybe even in New York.

Good photos and films, music and reading books. Sometimes playing sports or dancing. Everything can be an inspiration.

I try to photograph/film in my own style. I want to give as much of myself as possible in this.

I live in a fairly small town in eastern Poland. Local folk culture, with its traditions, holidays and music, is very important to me. I don't live in the capital of the country, I'm far from big advertising agencies and that's a minus, but I have to be more creative and that's a plus.

My process is similar to the one in which I create all things. Focus and a good idea are useful.

I try to have functional things at home, but also things that will give the apartment charm and coziness.

I start the day with good coffee. Then I prepare my son for school. Then I can start working ;)

Don't stop pursuing your goal, don't give up. Believe in your abilities.

As in any profession, there are positives and negatives, but they are probably different for everyone. It is difficult to answer this question.

I will probably repeat this very often, but it is an element of surprise in a well-thought-out strategy.

I use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to edit photos and Adobe Premiere to edit videos. I am inspired by websites and podcasts about cinematographers, as well as interviews and books about photographers and designers.

You need to be very well organized in life and in your work. This is the key to success ;)

It depends on the project in question, what it is, how long the project takes and how complex it is.

I get a lot of questions about various things, and I always try to answer them factually.

First of all, these are artists who exhibit their works in our Art Gallery.

We are preparing to arrange an exhibition that is very important for our Gallery, from interior design to the marketing side.

I think I've already answered all of questions. Thank you :)!

I've been involved in artistic endeavors for 15 years. First, I completed my studies, and then I carved my path in the artistic profession. On a daily basis, I work at an art gallery and record videos for artists who exhibit with us. Sometimes, I also arrange the exhibition spaces.

At the beginning, I took photos and made films, but since I started working at the art gallery, I also handle the arrangement of exhibition spaces. Artists often ask for my opinion on this matter.

I take advantage of digital conveniences, but I am a rather analog person. I create the scripts for my projects by hand.I strive to maintain my own style; when it comes to photography, these are mostly black-and-white photos.I always strive to have a key theme or guiding idea for the project. That's where I start the creation process.

It's nice to have a guiding idea for a project, but sometimes it's worth stepping off the beaten path, doing something by accident, and seeing where the project leads.I feel, of course, fantastic during the design process. I feel absolutely fantastic, it's indescribable.

The most important thing for me is consistency, bringing the project to completion.

I might like to learn the art of creating immersive exhibitions, combining museum exhibits with sound and visuals.

I graduated from film school, but there was also a design profile like architects, graphic designers and others.

At first I didn't think about being a designer, but over time it came to me :)

I pay attention to the details of the project, I have to complete it to the end.

Good design is a sign of good taste, artistic expression and knowledge.

Many factors determine the success of projects. These are also the people who help with the project.
