I was born in the small town of Targowiska in the south of Poland. In 1993, my family and I immigrated to America; growing up in a foreign household within the small town of Wolcott, Connecticut. I start with this to contextualize why I’m able to do what I do - as the former sentences have been nothing short of a blessing. Since coming to the USA, both my parents have not only created successful careers for themselves, but put three kids through college to all live incredible lives.

What most people don’t see or want to see, is that we grew up watching them struggle, learn, and adapt to living out the "american dream". They didn’t have money, hell, for my birthdays growing up, our birthday presents were going to McDonalds with my sisters cause it’s all we could afford. What my parents have done for me is insurmountable and I can never repay them. But it has molded me to the person I am today and influenced me as a designer.

10+ years later, I am seriously grateful to be able to do what I do. I’m incredibly fortunate to be where I am, and if you work with me, you’ll see that shine through in my work. If you want to connect, please reach out to me is Linkedin or Instagram DM’s. I answer all of them.

good things,

DF
