Papiery Wartościowe x Maria Norek
In September 2024 I designed a series od diaries and agendas for a luxurious stationary brand based in Warsaw, Poland. The calendar and notebook, as every day objects, should be pleasing to the eye. This was my starting point. I wanted the covers to add flowers, fill days with energy and bring pleasure. I started by choosing colours and flowers. I layered their elements, leaves, stems and petals - to build a sense of depth. Lilies symbolise abundance. I associate them with joy and vitality. They celebrate everyday life. Red roses are the flower of love. They remind us of passion, bloom. They fill us with hope.

Mood Scent Bar x Maria Norek
In October 2023 Mood Scent Bar celebrated its 10th birthday and they invited me to design an artwork for their gift wrapping. The brief I received was "more is more". Instinctively, I started painting orchids in watercolours, which, on the one hand, are the most bejewelled flowers, and on the other hand, are often associated with supermarket orchids. This dissonance intrigued me. I painted them in different shapes and colours, scanned them and arranged them into two different patterns, which were ultimately used on wrapping paper and shopping bags. I also designed and made artworks for two window displays.

‘Like Sugar’
In May 2022 I collaborated with my dear Friend, Tasja, who is an accomplished ceramicist working in Copenhagen. We made around 40 pieces of ceramics. We held a lovely opening for our friends.
Tasja threw the pieces, added some hand build intricate shapes and I painted them. We had a lot of fun together and the collection came about really swiftly.
We named it ‘Like Sugar’, the pieces felt playful and sweet. To me it was antidote to the seriousness with which we often carry ourselves.
Accompanying the collaboration, I got to bedazzle Tasja’s wall with some of my watercolours.
