Biography

I am a PhD researcher in Art and Design at the University of Salford. My current research investigates how ageism manifests within graphic design practice in Poland and the UK, and explores how a justice‑oriented participatory design approach can challenge age discrimination. I hold an MA in Visual Communication and a BA in Graphic Design, both from the University of Salford. Alongside my doctoral studies, I am working as a freelance graphic designer.
