I graduated in Product Design BA from the University of Arts in Poznań. My interests focus on user-centered design, ergonomics, responsibility and circularity. Through sketches, mockups and prototypes, I conduct a design process that meets the needs of the modern user.
The inspiration for this topic was the observation of people swimming recreationally in open waters. The ability to store things while swimming allows you to cover long distances or swim independently without worrying about items left on the shore. However, the solutions available on the market do not provide the freedom of movement necessary in this dynamic activity and do not guarantee safety and comfort. Safe and convenient storage of personal items while swimming is possible thanks to the use of appropriate materials, technologies and forms. After analyzing the design problem, I created a modular backpack. The combination of a vest made of fabric that is friendly to exposed skin and a body made of material resistant to external conditions provides the user with a comprehensive solution. The aim of this project is to provide freedom while swimming and to encourage people to take up this activity, which has many health-promoting features, connects us with nature and calms us down.
