Hi, i'm an illustrator and designer based in Warsaw. I like to write paper letters and talk about books, especially children picturebooks, movies, arts and design.
I work as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and sporadically as a proofreader.
I rarely travel, but I can host.

If you'd like to check my drawings and some of the curiosities and junk I collect (orange wrappers, postcards), visit @zosiafrankowska

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that experience of visiting another country is incomplete without talking to people who live there. I've made some great friends from abroad thanks to Erasmus scholarship, we're in touch till today and I'm very grateful for that. My home will be always open for them.

Interests

drawing/painting/designing. picturebooks, in theory (visual literacy) and practise. listening to other people's stories. trying different food and cooking. observing small changes. I'm making first steps in font design.
