about

Hi! I’m Sonia - Polish-French architect, designer and visual artist based in New York, with nearly a decade of experience at leading design offices across the United States, Japan, France and Netherlands. My design work spans complex, large-scale cultural, institutional, residential, and hospitality projects. Alongside my architectural practice, I explore the intersections of design and visual storytelling through illustration and art, bringing a unique perspective that bridges narrative environments, moods, and recording of personal memories. Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my professional projects and artistic explorations!
