Sandra

I am an industrial designer with a Bachelor’s degree, School of Form in Warsaw, my thesis focuses on Ukrainian society during and after the war, exploring how design can contribute to social support through ecosystems of care. I work independently and collaborate with other individuals through my own studio, chura.studio.

My interests lie at the intersection of cultural heritage, psychology, and electronics. In my free time, I expand my material knowledge by learning new crafts to enrich my design practice.

Notable achievements include:
1. Finalist at Young Design 2023 with the project FEMO, exhibited in Warsaw and Vienna
2. Participant in SPLOT UA Residency’s team “Rewilding the Night”
3. Winner of the Human Tech Hack 2024 with MoodBuddy, an educational ecosystem for neurodiverse children
4. Exhibitions at Gdynia Design Days, Lodz Festival, Vien Design Week, and the Museum of Warsaw
5. Multiple hackathon prizes and accelerator participation for socially impactful projects

Through my practice, I aim to combine deep research, ethnography, and technology to create design solutions that nurture resilience and social impact in challenging contexts.
