Hello,
I am Basia.
My story began in my homeland when, as a child, I was crazy about drawing
and all-things-art. Over the years that passion intensified, and eventually led
me to obtaining a bachelors degree in Graphic Design at Academy of Fine Arts
and a scholarship to study in Italy.
Half a year away from homeland, tasting different way of studying and a wind
of opportunities, I continued my education in Italy. I enrolled and obtained
a masters in Visual Arts and Graphic Design at the oldest University in Europe –
in Bologna.
For the last 15 years I've worked in various design studios, from Hampshire
to Surrey, and currently in the West Midlands. A couple of years at McCann
Central, and currently plying my trade with ITG as a senior designer.
I have conceptual skills, comfortable working to tight deadlines while
taking an integrated approach. I have a solid experience in digital design
as well as design for print. I am not afraid to push boundaries and always
look for opportunities to add value to the project I work on.

What do I bring to the table?
Hard-working approach and dedication.
Pleasure in beautifully designed layouts, and craft in general.
Sharing ideas with others and inspire younger members of the team.
Strong attention to detail.
Sociable, ironic and a genuinely good team player. The ability to
work well as part of a team, as well as autonomously, setting my
own daily workload and responsibilities.
Outside of work I am into reading modern fiction. As a polyglot -
fluent in English, Italian and Polish - I love to explore the meanders
of these languages. I am dedicated to my family, and I love baking!
