Her willingness and ability to crank hard join her enthusiasm for contributing to positive transformations. She keeps surprising with unconventional ideas that help to trigger the best-hidden potential while working with her.

Words are powerful however, not always innocent abstractors. There is often a gap between them and their meaning. (…) Sylwia with the help of Arushi, Susanna, and Stefano held a course session within the ETHZ CAS#3 of the DRRS Program, beautifully showing the power of sketching and graphical design when it comes to handling complexity and gradually extracting and aggregating information from a wide range of different data. With a clear and intuitively accessible didactical approach, she created an inspiring network dynamic among the participants, allowing for an extraordinary learning experience.

At conferences we are good at touching brains. Thank you for experimenting with us, touching also hearts, bodies and souls of the participants at our annual forum. Your creation made it complete.

Sylwia curated the most amazing sketching session in the ETH DRRS CAS#3 context. It was dynamic, inviting, and inspiring. We sketched live, with every participant's enormous engagement, not focusing on the results, but on the joy of doing! As a muscle to train and have fun while doing it! thanks, Sylwia for encouraging us to sketch!

I work directly with Sylwia on the development of the DRRS ETH learning program. It is the biggest professional challenge for me so far and the most rewarding, not least because of Sylwia's unwavering courage, her great ideas, and, above all, her sense of humor, with which she gives unique ease to our pioneering path every day. She embodies the regenerative idea across all scales of her actions.

Quick turn-around time, constant upbeat nature, always going beyond the call of duty, bird eye view of our needs, and of course: incredible talent as a designer. Sylwia impressed us in all our dealings.

Sylwia ran a brilliant sketching workshop for me and my colleagues on the CAS#3 in Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems at ETH Zurich. We had a range of talents within our group (some very experienced, others less so) but Sylwia managed to ensure it was fulfilling, inspiring and illuminating for everyone. It really opened my mind to the possibilities of sketching - particularly when it comes to systems design.

The power of visioning... Thanks to Sylwia's insights during the ETH CAS in Regenerative Systems: Systemic Design sketching session, I was able to channel my imagination and creativity into my quest for regenerative materials. Sylwia is a highly creative, kind, and empathetic systems designer who brings great value to the program that is at the forefront of regenerative system thinking and design. Thank you for what you have taught me Sylwia and for all the energy you bring to the Group!
