I was born and raised in a small suburban town outside of Chicago. I moved to the city, where I now reside, while attending Columbia College Chicago to work on my B.A. in Photography which I received in 2012. My personal work as of late has focused on matters of family and cultural connection.

Marta Sasinowska is a designer and photographer, curator and event coordinator based in Chicago.
