Meet our team

Sylwia Leszczyńska | Floristry

The Białystok University of Technology

A student  of landscape architecture at the Białystok University of Technology, a graduate of the Floral Academy – a prestigious floristry school. For several years, she has worked in the Girlanda family business; a florist shop in Białystok. She was a competitor at the Euroskills competition organised in Budapest in September 2018.

My adventure with floristry began in a florist shop run by my mum (we still work there together). With time, I have started to develop my interest, searched for new ideas, attended major events, trade shows and training courses run by world famous floristry masters. Step by step, apart from being my job, floristry has also become my passion and now I cannot live without.  

Agnieszka Marynowska | Fashion Technology

A winner of International Sewing Championship of Poland 2019, the National Competition for Young Designers and Tailors Szmaragdowy guzik 2018. The second place winner of the 100 lat awangardo! competition held in 2017.

I have been fascinated by sewing clothes since I was a little girl. It is fantastic to create something from nothing and I can do just that, preparing collections from unused scraps of fabrics. I am passionate about it and I want to make this my professional career. I have participated in numerous fashion shows and sessions with my collections. I have also completed an internship in Barcelona in the Mercedes Mestre flamenco dress shop. It is fantastic that I can travel and pursue my passion at the same time.

Patryk Rudź | CNC Milling

The State School of Higher Professional Education in Chełm

A third year student at the Faculty of Production Engineering interested in metalworking.

I have always been interested in science, so I have chosen a path close to my interests.
During the last holidays I had the opportunity to work as a volunteer in a production plant, where I was introduced to various types of machines and was able to further define my interests in the field of CNC milling.
After graduation, I would like to work on CNC milling machines – at first as their operator, and later as a technologist programmer.

Sebastian Zwierzchowski | Welding

No. 1 Vocational and Continuing Education and Training Centre in Gdańsk

A student of No. 2 trade (lower secondary) school at no. 1 Vocational and Continuing Education and Training Centre in Gdańsk specialising as a vessel hull assembler. An apprentice at the Stocznia Gdańsk S.A. 

It is by a sheer coincidence that I chose this specialisation. I did it under the influence of my father who was pitching this job as full of perspectives. It is one of few jobs demanded even in the times of crisis. Besides, it is very well paid. I will be able to work in diversified plants, as the skills I possess are needed when working on any sophisticated structure with metal elements. Building structure elements, car body elements, ships, chairs and washing machines cannot be made without welders. So I will keep myself busy and will improve my welding skills throughout my career.

Maciej Pisarek | Cooking

A graduate of the Febronia Gajewska Catering School Complex in Gorzów Wielkopolski

A winner of the Excellence Medal at EuroSkills 2018 in Budapest and the Best of Nation medal. A competitor and laureate of numerous culinary competitions for amateurs and professionals.

Kitchen has always been close to me and I have been close to the kitchen. As a child I liked to be near my grandma or mum when they were cooking, and it stuck. Catering has been a natural choice to me because, simply, it has always been fun. I was also lucky to meet people who inspired me and showed that it was worth to do one’s best. It is enough to combine school knowledge with ambition and self-discipline. If you love what you do, you will never have to work.
