Hello! I’m Nikola, a BA1 student at the Manchester School of Architecture. I’m originally Polish but was born and raised in Huddersfield, where I was surrounded by a mix of cultures throughout my life. This exposure, along with my passion for both art and mathematics, inspired me to pursue architecture. My dad works in construction, so I’ve also been introduced to architectural ideas and the technical side of building from a young age. I particularly enjoy creating physical drawings and experimenting with mixed media, as they allow me to explore ideas in a hands-on and expressive way. I’m really excited to collaborate with a diverse group of people, learn from different experiences and skill sets, and work together to help bring more art and culture into Stockport.
