Tell us a little about yourself. What was your upbringing like? I was born in Poland to architect parents where a love of art always accompanied me and my siblings. From a very early age we were encouraged to take part in artistic and musical activities. When I was 5 years old I started playing piano and studying painting, when I was 13 I knew that I wanted to become a graphic designer and illustrator.


How did you initially become interested in illustration? Illustration was a natural progression after finishing at The Academy of Fine Arts. I was taught traditional techniques including oil paint- ing, etching and linocut, but found that digital illustration was what fulfils me most.


Your work as an artist is extremely varied - what is your favou- rite medium to work with, and why?


The art of illustration is so interesting and I always enjoy exploring more and more techniques. I know my style varies, but I would hate it if I had to choose just one medium. There are so many ways to create a beautiful piece of work and I don’t necessarily think you

have to limit yourself in order to define your style.


Your work oozes femininity, soft in both style and subject. Is this informed by your job as creative director of LoveLife Design or is it the other way around?


I created LoveLife Design because I felt my style in both design and illustration is very feminine. Before LoveLife I was creating graphic design for undefined markets, but I always felt most comfortable creating for the feminine audience, and the fashion and beauty industry. I decided to make this the unique selling point of my busi- ness.


Setting up your own business can be quite a daunting prospect – at what point did you decide to do this?


I have always wanted to have my own agency, but in order to do it I had to gain experience. I waited until I felt I was ready for the challenge.


Where do you draw your ideas from? Do you use a sketchbook or journal to collate inspiration and experiences together?
