My name is Beniamin, and I am a young entrepreneur from Poland. I graduated from an art university with a degree in interior and furniture design. During my studies, however, I developed a strong interest in graphic design. Over the past few years, I have worked on improving my skills by completing a variety of online courses and training programs focused on brand design. I am fascinated by how visual identity can tell a business’ story, reflect its values, and help it stand out in a competitive market. My long-term goal is to start my own creative studio, helping small entrepreneurs build strong and visually consistent brands.
There are several reasons why I decided to join the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program. A few years ago, I participated in an Erasmus exchange as a student, which turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Living and studying in a foreign country allowed me to travel, meet new people, and learn a lot about myself. When I found out there was a similar program made for aspiring entrepreneurs, I knew I wanted to take part in it. I was curious to see how a creative agency operates in another country, discover different approaches to design, and, at the same time, improve my English and Spanish skills.
I am currently in Spain, collaborating with a creative agency in Gran Canaria. Although it has only been a couple of weeks since I arrived, I can already say that the EYE program is an incredibly valuable experience. It is teaching me not only about business, but also about communication, work organization, and building self-confidence. I am sure that the knowledge and skills I am gaining here will help me when I start my own business. Each day brings new learning opportunities – for example, I recently participated in a photoshoot for a marketing campaign promoting an event organized by my host. This allowed me to be involved in the process of creating a marketing campaign, and observe, step by step, how to organize an event.
