She teaches at the School Of Form at SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities. She is constantly thinking about the future, space and a sense of security. She is the author of the #bezpiecznik podcast and the book “Szałas na hałas”. She explores human relationship with space in radically changing times and external circumstances.

She explores how much the development of AI affects our lives and how we can use it wisely. She is involved in the analysis of human development and what competencies humans should develop in the era of such a rapidly changing world. She practices and promotes the idea of neuroarchitecture and synesthetic design – meaning a design that affects all the senses and speculative design – based on creating solutions for the future. She combines knowledge of human biology with architectural solutions that best support the needs and functions of the body. She adheres to the principle that a well-designed space is one that allows you to comfortably perform the assigned tasks. At the center of her interests and activities there is the relationship between humans, space and objects. She advises and teaches how to create design that improves life comfort, efficiency and mental well-being. She specializes in solutions that support the sense of security.
