I collaborate with media, organizations and experts who value depth, accuracy, and thoughtful storytelling

I belive in power of true collaboration. Most of my projects are created in teams with other journalists or editorial teams, with my focus is on topic research, framing , interviews, and editorial clarity. All of that, mixed with out-of-the-box promotion ideas.

I conduct thoughtful, well-researched interviews for articles, podcasts, events, and independent projects.

I ensure the conversation still reaches the right audience through SEO-focused writing and promotion.

If you have an idea, a project, or a conversation you’d like to explore — get in touch.

Let's talk

What I help with?

The work often starts from a line in a book.
A scene from a film.
An exhibition, a conversation, a place encountered while walking the city.

These moments trigger questions — why now? what’s shifting? Who does this really affect?
That’s where my editorial process begins.

I connect cultural signals, social change, technology, and lived experience to frame topis worth exploring — and then I dive deeper with research, interviews, and publications.

  • I develop strong editorial angles, research frameworks, and interview questions that open space for meaningful conversation — in print, on stage, on air, or in long-form formats.

    This includes:

    • background and contextual research

    • identifying key tensions and underexplored perspectives

    • shaping interview questions that encourage depth rather than performance

    • preparing conversations for media, podcasts, panels, and books

    My approach is informed, precise, and non-intimidating — designed to create trust and allow people to think out loud.

  • Accuracy is not a separate step — it’s embedded in how I work.

    I meticulously verify facts, statements, and claims to ensure reliability without oversimplifying complex issues or losing nuance.

    I work across formats, including:

    • articles and long-form essays

    • interviews and podcasts

    • reports and book-length projects

    I combine editorial judgment with AI-assisted tools and industry best practices to separate signal from noise and protect the integrity of published work.

  • I write and edit non-fiction that combines clarity, research, and storytelling.

    My work includes articles, features, essays, interviews, reports, and blog content — grounded in solid research and adapted to editorial standards and SEO requirements where needed. I focus on making complex ideas accessible without flattening nuance, shaping narratives that inform, engage, and stay with the reader.

    This work often becomes:

    • long-form articles and features

    • reported interviews and conversations

    • essays and opinion pieces

    • analytical or cultural texts

    • editorially refined content ready for publication

    I also work with Polish–English–Polish translations, treating translation as an editorial process - ensuring accuracy, tone, and cultural context, with additional feedback and text refinement when useful.

  • I design and lead conversations where curiosity sets the pace and people feel safe to speak honestly.

    I host and co-host interviews for media, podcasts, and live events, guiding discussions with structure, sensitivity, and editorial awareness.

    This includes:

    • interview preparation and research

    • shaping conversation flow and narrative arc

    • hosting or co-hosting podcasts

    • moderating panels and public discussions

    I’m comfortable on stage and behind the microphone, holding space for both guests and audiences.

  • Rather than tracking trends in isolation, I focus on what they mean, where they come from, and how they intersect.

    I connect dots across culture, technology, economy, and everyday life — translating signals into insights people want to read about, listen to, and discuss.

    This work often becomes:

    • articles and essays

    • interview themes

    • podcast or event concepts

    • editorial frameworks

    The goal is not prediction, but understanding.

I write, host interviews, moderate discussions, and commentate for the media. Among my guests have been:

Shoshana Zuboff, Yuval Noah Harari, Oded Galor, Carrie Santos, Babara Butcher, Stephanie Land, Michał Kiciński (CD Projekt) and more.

Services

Editorial Research &
Fact-chcecking

I support editorial projects with deep background research and rigorous fact-checking — especially where topics are complex, sensitive, or evolving.

This includes:

  • contextual research across society, technology, culture, and policy

  • verification of facts, claims, and sources

  • support for long-form articles, interviews, podcasts, and books

Trends & Context Analysis (editorial)

Rather than trend promotion, I focus on context. This work often feeds into articles, interviews, podcasts, or event concepts.

This includes:

  • cultural signals (books, film, art, media)

  • social and technological change

  • expert perspectives and lived experience

Writing & Editorial
Work

I write and edit content that combines storytelling with research, shaped by strong questions, and adapted to both editorial and SEO needs (if online).

This includes:

  • interviews and long-form conversations

  • reported features and essays

  • opinion and analysis pieces

  • editorial support and text development

Translations (Polish ↔ English)

I work with translations as part of the editorial process — not as mechanical transfer, but as meaning-making across languages and contexts.

This includes:

  • Polish–English–Polish translation of articles, interviews, and essays, catalogues

  • adapting tone, references, and cultural context for new audiences

  • editorial feedback and text refinement alongside translations

Interviews, Conversations & Moderation

I design and host interviews that go beyond surface-level answers. My role is to create space for depth, trust, and meaningful exchange.

This includes:

  • preparing research-driven interview frameworks

  • hosting or co-hosting interviews for media, podcasts, and publications

  • moderating public conversations, panels, and events

Creative Concepts Dev & Comms

I often join early-stage projects that don’t yet have a fixed format but need a creative yet organized mind.

I help identify the core question inside an idea and shape it into something audiences want to read, watch, attend, or engage with.

This co-op can include:

  • shaping editorial and narrative concepts

  • developing research questions and thematic angles

  • supporting interviews and content production

  • collaborating on independent or experimental projects (films, exhibitions, books, events)

  • connecting projects with the right people to help move them forward

Sometimes this results in a strong written piece. Sometimes in a concept ready for further development or collaboration.
