Hi, I'm Karolina Ankiewicz

About Me.

Design Is My Passion

Get To Know Me.

The first time I encountered a computer, I was five years old. It was 1989, and my parents spent the night programming "ants" on a ZX Spectrum. That memory stuck with me. By 1996, I had my own computer—an old machine running German DOS on 5.25-inch floppy disks, paired with a thick manual. There was no internet, no shortcuts, just me and the software. That early experience shaped my curiosity and determination.

Years later, while studying at Gdańsk Technical University, I dove headfirst into programming. Java, early web dev with HTML, CSS, and even electronic circuit programming in Assembler became my world. Back when resources were scarce, every breakthrough came from self-driven exploration. That period taught me to think analytically and solve problems creatively—skills that remain my greatest strengths to this day.

Though I took a detour into sound engineering, where I honed my teamwork, leadership, and deadline management skills, programming was always in the background. Whether freelancing or pursuing it as a hobby, it became the perfect expression of my love for design and coding.

Now, through  KaroCreative.pl, I’ve gone all-in, building a career that bridges the creative and technical worlds. I specialize in front-end development, combining years of experience with an artistic sensibility to deliver unique digital solutions.
