Marta Sasinowska is a designer and photographer, curator and event coordinator based in Chicago. She’s also the founder of Practice Studies, where she documents artists and makers and their creative processes as she travels the world. Instead of focusing on the final product, she focuses on highlighting the “ways to get there,” showing how much work goes into each handmade piece. She’s driven by the idea of connecting, sharing and building community bound by creative passions.

Graphic Designer / Art Director / Mother / Based in Chicago

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.
