Workshop Concept and PurposeI created this workshop because I truly believe that people working in the industry deserve more clarity, support, and space to grow.

I studied, trained, and built this program with one goal in mind:learning should be accessible to everyone.

Lifelong learning isn’t a luxury. It is essential for the future of our industry.

I am here to support that growth, step by step.

With warmth,Dominika Nagy
