about me
Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Lucyna, but everyone calls me Lucy. I moved from Poland to Edinburgh, Scotland in 2016 and call Scotland my home.
My professional background in Poland comprised of over 16 years' experience as an Executive Assistant supporting director level officers in multi-national companies. Since arriving in Scotland I worked with British Airways providing outstanding customer service in what was sometimes a challenging but always a time-sensitive environment. Alongside BA I worked - and still do work - with The Polish Centre in Edinburgh. My duties there include co-ordinating the work of all staff in the centre and helping Polish immigrants integrate into the Scottish society. I really enjoy this part of my job as it means I can still speak my native language whilst using my English - which I am very proficient at.
I would say my major qualities are being very conscientious, friendly and easy going, hard working with an emphasis on being quick and efficient to deliver an assignment in a timely manner.
My hobbies are my fascination with following the crypto currency market, keeping healthy by way of a healthy lifestyle and lots of walking and anything to do with arts and crafts.

Graphic design
My favorite part of VA's work is graphic design. I started my design journey many years ago in other areas of my life (decoupage & handmade products) and that led to me doing it professionally albeit in a small way. I can offer excellent solutions for your business as well as offering competitive prices. I work with Affinity Designer and Canva. I have been using the latter intensively since 2017 and working with customers for 4 years.
MY EXPERTISE

Feedback from Clients
Why you should hire me?
I will recommend Lucy to any one. Big or small job. Work ethic is best I have ever seen. Very accommodating, helpful and attentive to detail. Credit to freelance community. We have done 2 projects and fully satisfied, now we will do our full catalogue re-design with Lucy.
~ Rob Singh
I have hired Lucyna multiple times and will continue to do so. She is thorough, efficient, and has picked up on my design style very quickly, making each subsequent project easier to delegate. Lucyna constantly surprises me with her creativity. She is helping me get more done at the quality level that I (and my clients) expect! So enjoy working with her.
~ Lori Blatt
I've hired Lucy several times to create Canva graphics for use on my website and on social media. She is WONDERFUL! Quick to respond, creative, helpful, and a great communicator. She is a pleasure to work with. Strongest recommendation.
