Nice to meet you!
My name is Kamila Anna and I am a Pole, living and creating in Copenhagen, Denmark. A designer, researcher & strategist with a flair for futures and the newest transitions and symptoms, as well as an attachment to traditions and cultural heritage. My interests lie primarily in helping companies, actors and brands navigate ever-changing cultural norms and behaviours to translate them into actionable insights. I have +5 years of experience in design studios/consultancies/NGO world designing and researching intersections of topics and spheres. I am educated as a Service Systems Designer (and Economist), currently dedicating my time to researching tech-infused social care transformations at ITU, as well as running a small initiative called XchangeKnit to foster non-monetary transaction models. In my free time, I love to educate myself, indulge in analogue entertainment and connect with close ones.
I am passionate about futures, social design and cultural research. I thrive in executing ideas from scratch, be it research by design, project planning or workshop facilitation. Creating strategies, meaningful services or future-facing insights come naturally to me. The work process is just as necessary as the end result, so a pleasant, helpful, understanding and collaborative work environment and work relationships are what I can contribute with.
Observing daily cultural shifts and signals of change ensures that my work stays relevant and up-to-date. With an attachment to traditions and cultural heritage, I am trying to reinvigorate positive sustainable practices once forgotten and bring them back in the future.
Meaningfulness is essential while designing, creating and contributing to new solutions. Making sure that the process and the outcome are ethical and shaping a better world, is at the top of my mind every time when embarking on a design journey.
