For many years, I have been working very hard to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, my family is not able to fully finance my education in Belgium.
I've always had an interest in fashion, becoming seriously passionate about 5 years ago. The first step was to attend the patternmaking and sewing course in Youth Cultural House in my hometown, Bialystok.
Since 2010, I’ve been doing summer internships annually. For a couple of years it was at Maldoror Low Couture in Warsaw.

Last year, I interned at Malgorzata Dudek Atelier in London.

I am constantly improving and honing my skills by taking part in different contests. I was the finalist of Young Fashion Day Competition and semi-finalist of OFF FASHION Competition.

One of my biggest achievements was being awarded a second prize in an international competition for a historical reconstruction of Helena Modjeska dress.

Apart from the pursuit of fashion design I was also involved in charity projects, supporting the non-profit organization such as The Grand Orchestra of Christmas Charity. As a reward for my involvement in this charity event I was chosen as one of two workshop participants who were given the opportunity to work on the “Tubakire Project” organized by the Christian Charity Service and ADRA Poland foundation supported by the Polish Foreign Minister. In relation to the project’s mission aimed at exploration of the value that lies in multiculturalism and humanity, together with the other participant, we sewed the traditional national Polish costume worn in the region of Kurpie, which was later donated for children with special educational needs in Rwanda.
What I Need & What You Get
Studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp is the next step in achieving my dream and building a successful future. Please, help me up to fulfil it. I count on you and your support!
The first year of college costs about 15 thousand Euros. This price includes the tuition fee, accommodation, food, fabrics and other core study materials essential to study at the Academy.
I am aware that this is quite a large sum, however I strongly believe that you can help me collect the fund that would allow me continue my path.
I'm going to use my art to express gratitude in return for your support! I'm offering plenty of analogue and polaroid pictures (especially some new ones from Antwerp!), custom collages, drawings and designs!
