I am a Polish-born ceramic designer currently based in Glasgow, working exclusively with porcelain. With a background in interior design and an MDes degree, my practice is informed by a strong design-led approach, focusing on form, proportion, and spatial awareness. After completing my studies, I shifted toward contemporary craft to work more directly with materials and processes to develop a more tactile, hands-on practice.
My work centres on functional ceramic pieces that aim to balance modern design with a classic, timeless quality. I am particularly inspired by light and architecture, exploring how light interacts with form and surface.
I work primarily with slip-cast porcelain, valuing precision, consistency, and refinement. The slip-casting process allows me to achieve clean lines and controlled forms while continually striving for a high level of finish and accuracy. Design development is an important part of my process, with careful consideration given to proportion, balance, and functionality. My colour palette is predominantly black and white, chosen to emphasise form and surface. Occasional bold, vivid colours are introduced to highlight porcelain’s unique ability to absorb colour and reveal subtle material qualities.
