ABOUT

Alicja’s Desktop

alicjabuchowicz.com is a creative portfolio disguised as a retro desktop operating system. It blends personality with functionality in a playful, interactive way. Visitors can drag desktop icons and open draggable windows, giving the site a nostalgic, OS-inspired interface. A standout feature is the built-in 24-hour radio station, Rawr Radio, which streams hand-picked tracks in themed segments—think Emo Hour, Funk-o-Matic, and Divorced Dad Rock.

Each project window opens like a file, with in-depth case studies on brands like Postie and Flossie, showcasing a decade of creative direction, branding, product development, and storytelling. The site feels alive—designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and reflect the creator’s multidisciplinary brain. It’s weird, fun, and completely original.

Ukrainska 15

Ukrainska 15 is an interactive long-read that tells a personal story about the first days of the war in Ukraine. The project documents everyday moments, memories, and emotional experiences that often remain outside official narratives.
The website combines storytelling, illustration, and scroll-based interaction to recreate the atmosphere of uncertainty, fear, and resilience people experienced during that time. The narrative moves from darkness to light, symbolizing the journey from the basement during shelling to life continuing above ground.
Through a minimal visual language the project focuses on memory, trauma, and the human side of war. Ukrainska 15 is both a personal archive and a digital story about how ordinary life changes in extraordinary circumstances.
