I'm Gigi, a Warsaw-born creative now based in the Hamburg area, and the mind behind Studio i sits, where tiny sets and big ideas come together.
For the past 10 years, I’ve worked across different areas of communication, focusing mainly on brand messaging and marketing.
I build miniature props and entire sets for product shoots, showing them from entirely new perspectives and telling unique stories.
Working in miniature allows me to minimize material use and create whole new worlds while being mindful of the one we all share.
Thinking
inside the box.
