Karolina Potębska is an interior architect with a comprehensive approach to the design process. Born in Poland, graduate of the Faculty of Interior Design at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, student of Spatial Design at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen.

She believes that good design comes from understanding both the smallest detail and spatial experience. Karolina puts the users and their needs at the centre of the creative process. She places particular emphasis on the cultural and sociological background and space in its local context with a particular attention to the materiality.

At the beginning of her career, she collaborated with OffTeoria Group on the Made in Poland exhibition. For many years, she also cooperated with Human Office Polska Sp. z.o.o. creating office spaces for international corporations. Numerous projects for Aleksandra Zając Biuro Architektoniczne are mainly luxury residences, apartments and public spaces. Permanent cooperation with Jakub Szczęsny in designing architectural concepts, artistic urban installations and museums is an important area of exploration on her creative path. In 2021, she created the set design for the play Instytut, based on the novel by Jakub Żulczyk, directed by Jędrzej Wielecki for the Kochanowski Theatre in Opole.
