business card I designed for my dad’s yoga studio.

(inspired by Kenya Hara. I’m fascinated by his “this will do” rather than “I need to have that” approach to design.)

My friend Karo and I launched a series this summer we call Iskra, which means “spark” in Polish. Once a month we gather our friends, classmates and acquaintances to talk about a topic we’re interested in. The evenings also became a platform for us to experiment with speculative methods and bring a design lens to each topic. The premiere was about the sexual behaviors of animals transposed onto humans. What would happen if men became pregnant instead of women? Or if we were polygamous like bonobos? Read to find out.

My friend Karolina and I have been talking about hosting a living room series where we share what we’ve been working for months. Well, it still hasn’t happened but we are determined to make it happen this year so I thought a logo was a good place to start! We’re calling the meetup ‘Iskra’ which means ‘spark’ in Polish. The idea is to create a casual but intimate space where people can come to tell stories or share their ideas or just listen and get inspired.  It’s super chill! I’m curious - which ones are your favorites? Leave comments!
