Before the master’s degree, I studied architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland. During my half-year break between diplomas I worked as a Junior Graphic Designer at Budvar Centrum in Zdunska Wola. During that time, I started to work on a project where the aim was to create a website. It turned out to be very interesting. I decided to develop myself in that direction. I stared to search for the university which would offer me a web design education. And I found Greeniwch.

The course at Greenwich University sounded really good. The opportunity to get coding and design skills together was perfect for me. I have applied and I got in! I was very excited and wanted to gain as much knowledge as possible about the web.

I had no idea how to build a website before I joined the course, but after a couple of months I managed to create my first one. And after a year I built a WordPress site from the scratch.

For my Major Project I built a website about street art. I wanted to create a Street Art Guide for artwork in London and Łódź (Poland). It would show the art around us and how to find it. I decided to build it from scratch and used the most common CMS: WordPress. The learning process was intensive and tuff. At the end, however, I managed to achieve most of my goals.

Currently I am working as a Junior UI designer in DDS Poland in Gdańsk. I have been creating website interfaces since October 2018. The MA Web Design and Content Planning at the University of Greeniwch gave me a lot of knowledge which I am now sharing with colleagues at my current job. If you are considering enrolling for this MA programme, do not hesitate. Just do it! It is totally worth with it.
