My interest is truth. My craft is clarity.

My name is Natalia. My last name is pronounced awe-shah-TIN-skah.

I specialize in words and images. Whether I’m writing, naming, or taking photos, my work is about finding what matters, distilling it, and arranging it to create harmony. As a writer and namer I work mainly in English and Polish—the two languages I speak with native fluency. As a photographer I look for clutter-free beauty with an element of surprise.

I am also a cook, baker, sewist, diarist, potter, and explorer of contact improvisation My interests may seem broad, but in everything I do, I’m always searching for truth, removing what’s not needed, and celebrating clarity.

I have an MA in Linguistics from Syracuse University and a BA in Drama with a Photography minor from Colorado College. I got my start in business as a strategic planner at DDB New York, where I learned all about writing powerful briefs and applying linguistics to branding.

I live in Stary Mokotów, Warsaw.

I’m a mom to a teenage son.
