Hi. Paula's here, I'm a self-taught artist and animator from Poland. I fell in love with animation when I was a child and since then I decided to do my best to get into the industry. I stumbled upon an opportunity to work in an animation studio called "Fumi" based in Warsaw as an intern and that was the place where I found out about Toon Boom. I was creating frame-by-frame animation and cut-outs as well back then. I was even eager enough to learn some rigging basics and I would love to explore this knowledge more since Toon Boom is constantly changing and the methods are different from those I learned some time ago.

I'm working in the animation industry as a story artist from three years and I have collaborated on unannounced feature film with Bardel, on an insect TV series with Aardman called Lloyd of the Flies, on several projects with Blue Zoo, including a crazy adventure series comedy with animals called Big Tree City, and I also often work for commercials, especially with Golden Wolf on several projects, including NBA Jam. My works are always influenced by everything around me. In particular photographs, paintings, illustrations and also LEGO, works that can tell a moment or a story with just an image. So every time I wonder what happens to this image afterwards? What happens if I use this composition throughout all my story or this photographic lens? And all of this I try to blend into stories like I was playing with LEGO as a kid.
