01 / About me

Hi,
I'm
Artur.

I study Industrial Design Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology — a master's programme combining mechanics, materials engineering and manufacturing processes with product development and design.

My strength lies in being technically grounded and analytical while having a strong eye for visual communication and design. I'm used to taking responsibility, coordinating projects and delivering high-quality work.
