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 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).

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.
