Summary


I am a civil servant, architect, urbanist, lecturer, activist, and placemaker. I work as an urbanist in the Municipality of Skawina, collaborating with local communities on sustainable mobility, urban design, and green-blue infrastructure. I am passionate about child-friendly spaces, safe and sustainable school travel, and participatory processes. I use placemaking to build communities around places and places around communities, transforming our municipality from livable to lovable. I have presented my work at various events, including the Future of Places conferences in Stockholm, Placemaking Week in Amsterdam and Chattanooga, Placemaking Europe in Valencia, Walk Bike Places, and WUF 10 Abu Dhabi.
