Who am I

Summary:
I work with graphics, animations, interior and architectural design. However over the last years my core activities stayed within graphic and website design. I combine the creativity in the design phase with perseverance when executing a design, be it a website, publication or three dimensional product. My partners have been both local and very international, handling one-week projects up to cooperation projects lasting several years.

Who am I: M.A. ZielinskaThe main three areas I have clients with are archaeology, arts (sculpture) and spirituality. From the start I was getting involved in very different projects; from Flash animations for a CD-rom to re-designing a living area in Amsterdam. I have also given various presentations and workshops on designing and Photoshop. I was working for a Fire Department in South Holland designing the look of their proceedings as well as doing photo shoots at art exhibitions. Also big projects with money from provinces or the European Union, where you need to work very transparent, are part of my recent experience.

Specialties:
graphic and website design (Adobe), design sense (for example by communicating the brand), good eye for detail, good communication skills and see right through what is needed (get the conclusions), wide expertise from designing of a project through managing it and keeping the deadlines (keep an overview of a project from beginning till end).

Workshop giving:
In the year 2011 two workshops have been given by us at JKP, Radha Madhav Dham. The small one took two half days and was about websites. The large one was 7 full days on designing and Corporate Identity. Over the past years it became clear, that more people were needed in the graphic department. Therefore a plan to involve three more designers was developed together with the PR department. With some small projects we checked the general level of their work, and in November 2011 Mohini Visions was running an intensive workshop about Designing and teaching the rules used at JKP, Radha Madhav Dham. The workshop took seven days and we covered all types of PR products, general rules of designing, tools and tricks in Photoshop, printer requirements, the Corporate Identity and products for websites. We made a few different products during the workshop, which were sent to print. We also created parameters for the designers for their future work. Mohini Visions will remain overall responsible for the final approving of all products made.

Hobby:
I like everything what has to do with creaitivity, I for example designed own clothes in the past. For a long time, I took pleasure in drawing, at first becuase of my architecture studies, later also in between, as relaxation. I tried as well to paint on silk. Actually, I like drawing with pencil or ink best, having the perspective right on paper has always been one of my demands. Unfortunately I have little time for my hobby nowadays. Especially in this era of digital photography, drawing has become a bit of a forgotten trick. Below you will find several of my drawings / sketches.
