Originally from Poland and currently based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, she is an independent spatial practitioner and researcher examining politics, labour, and production across different scales of the built environment. She holds a dual master’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism from Eindhoven University of Technology.

In her practice, she questions the contemporary labour dynamics and the pursuit of limitless growth within the built environment. Her work explores the intersections of migration, labour, and architecture, with a particular focus on the experiences of Eastern European workers in Western Europe.

Currently,  she also works within the field of IT in the built environment, engaging with digital tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and data environments that mediate design and construction processes. She is actively involved in advocating for labour rights within the architectural profession, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
