tomIMG_7630_DxOHaving degree in Architecture, passion for photography, and vision to share it with others have made me take on new challenges – from establishing a national magazine on 3D graphics, visualization and CAD design in 1996, through first company in Poland to offer digital – over the net – prints from digital cameras in 2002, nationally recognized portal and e-shop for amateur astronomers and a decade of conferences where professionals and amateurs would meet and learn from each other. I have always looked for innovative and smart ways to tackle new challenges, examining feedback from clients to look for places to improve and learn to better meet their needs, collaborating where it was appropriate within teams looking for ways to achieve growth. I have managed digital as well offline content production for number of clients, including ISP Tychy, Helion Publishing, 3D, Aquazone, dFoto and Arsoba Travel. And running freelance desing office is all about self motivation and resourcefulness. I have managed traffic for teleskopy.net, studia.slask.pl, eclipses.eu, and have had experience in print production and POS design, while working to extremely tight budgets and deadlines, often with concurrent or conflicting deadlines. And always, always following new trends.
Since 2009 I have been involved in planning and leading Eclipse Expeditions and Photographic Workshops across Australia, New Zealand, China and USA. I am a quick learner, researcher and problem solver, and leading expeditions has honed my communication skills, as well my leadership qualities while retaining and client oriented stance.
I have run my own design agency for close to 20 years, and as both designer and manager I enjoyed becoming an expert on Adobe Creative Suite including InDesign and it’s predecessor PageMaker, Photoshop and Illustrator as well as Corel. Creating course materials for my clients I used PowerPoint and Impress extensively, and for my own management use Microsoft Office as well as Open Office (I teach courses on use of business software in education). I am a photographer and video maker and post producer as well as animator. I have designed, deployed and positioned probably around 100 web sites. While on post of editor-in-chief I produced print ready publications. As CEO of dfoto sp. z. o.o. I managed a team of programmers and negotiated leasing and supply contracts.
Apart from degree in Architecture and years in design role running my own business, I have designed e-shops, am both proficient in AutoCAD as well as Adobe CS and 3D Studio Max where my technical skills make me an instructor for ProCad S.A – leader in this field in Poland. I adapt well to complex and even surprising situations, and as someone in management role I have often needed to conceptualize and present designs to my team or clients. Therefore I strongly believe hiring me can benefit you as my employer
