Hi, I’m Ola — an artist of Polish origin, currently based in London. I’m a young creative professional and a student at the University of the Arts London, where I study BA Design for Art Direction. I’ve recently completed my Diploma in Professional Studies, a sandwich year designed to help me grow through real-world experience in the creative industries.
My identity plays a central role in shaping my artistic voice. I’m deeply drawn to themes surrounding history and human rights, often weaving these narratives into my creative practice. With a passion for visual storytelling, I’m particularly interested in working within the media and editorial sectors, where I can evolve as both a visual communicator and future art director.
I’m eager to expand my skills in digital and graphic art, driven by a strong desire to support and contribute to an industry that thrives on innovation and constant change. My leadership, curiosity, and innovative thinking continue to guide me through collaborative projects and personal explorations alike.
