Summary
I am a public sector urban designer working at the intersection of policy, spatial design, and community engagement. Based in Skawina, Poland, I lead and coordinate projects that make public spaces safer, greener, and more inclusive — especially for children and everyday users.
With experience in local government, academia, and European cooperation projects, I turn strategic ideas into on-the-ground actions — from safe school routes to rainwater systems — always rooted in community co-creation.
💬 I can support you in:
Designing child-friendly, walkable, and human-scale public spaces
Coordinating local actions in EU-funded projects (URBACT, Interreg, Civitas)
Developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)
Facilitating participatory planning, co-creation processes, and public workshops
Activating communities through placemaking and low-cost urban interventions
Integrating green-blue infrastructure and nature-based solutions into planning
Delivering talks, peer-learning sessions, and public space walkshops
