‘OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE LIGHT’ I CAME…

Per aspera ad astra (from Latin: through adversity to the stars).

Who Am I?

I am a Polish Graphic Designer and a Visual Marketing Star (almost a rock star 😉 ) who has been in the creative industry since 2000 (17 years in the UK).

I am the founder of Imagenation Design and the creator of a customised 3xB System - Brand Clarity | Brand Design | Brand Marketing to support fellow entrepreneurs with:

★ Gaining clarity on the foundations of their brand
★ Designing a unique, visually attractive brand
★ Promoting their businesses on-line and off-line.

As a result, my clients can:

★ Design a brand that stands out from the competition
★ Look professional
★ Operate with confidence
★ Increase revenue
★ Design a life of their dreams (which is also my personal goal).

We start our potential collaboration with a free, 30-minute, remote consultation and/or brand review.

Why Do I Do What I Do?

As a creative and free-spirited person, I see beauty in living and working on my terms.
I treat the business as a vehicle driving me towards my dreams, one successfully helped client at a time.
I call it a win-win situation.

How It All Started

There was a time when I had a fantastic plan for the future, and the entire enthusiasm to execute it, and then… life happened.
And I was stuck in misery (yup, I said it!) until I started asking the right questions of the right people...

Yesterday...

- I’m sorry, but I’m a bit confused! So, who do you want to target? - asked a business coach during our 1:1 video call.

- Not sure… - I confessed honestly.

- So, are you all about design or art or what? - she asked, no less confused.

- I don’t know what I am all about anymore… - I sighed.
You see, I’ve been rocking in the creative industry since 2000 (with some intervals), but first things first…

I Dreamed a Dream

My education started with a degree in marketing, but I decided to follow my childhood dreams and went to study graphic design.
As a result, I worked as an in-house Graphic Designer for over a decade.

- And?

- And in my late 20s I was one well-educated and experienced pro, ready to rock the world in my new home in the UK, until I became a wife, then mum of two, and ultimately, sadly parted ways with my husband…

- I’m sorry to hear that…

Highway to Hell

- Yeah, life happened, and I haven’t been able to work on my terms for ages now, which makes me feel unfulfilled, insecure, miserable and broke.
Currently, I have no systems in place, no resources nor the confidence to get back to the graphic design and marketing game…
How can I get back to the woman I once was?!

- Let’s sort you out then - she commanded.
Then we went to work.

The Eye of the Tiger

So, yes, my life sucked for a good decade (thankfully music, art, nature and motivational quotes kept me sane), until I managed to hire a business coach who boosted my confidence big time!
That day I decided to get back to my profession of a graphic designer and use my skills and experience to transform other people's organisations and lives.

This was the only way I felt I could redesign my own existence!

Today...

Today, I can proudly say that on a daily basis I work as a Graphic Designer / Visual Marketing Rock Star, who lives in a beautiful coastal town in southern England, with my two challenging children (hell, yeah!), awesome fiancé (bless him!) and two dog-like cats (I clearly have the best of two worlds!).

And, together with my amazing team, I would love to assist you with building a brand that rocks so you can keep rocking in your business and life the way the hell you want!

At leisure, I turn into an adventure lover who enjoys going places, especially those with the potential to hike, sunbathe, listen to good music and speak other languages.

And I love mixed media art, mainly because creating helps me, a person with a higher sensitivity trait (HSP), to stay grounded and happier.

If you can’t find me in The Studio, on the cliffs, rock concert or on the back of a tourer bike, I will probably be in my garden staring at my fruit, veg and flowers.
During warm, cloudless nights, I will be sitting under the light of the stars, reflecting on the life I keep designing for myself by helping others.
