About Me — Katie Jgln
Hi, I’m Katie.
I’m opinionated, unapologetic, and like writing content that angers people who are mentally stuck in the Middle Ages.
But if you made it here, I’m going to assume you’re not one of them. Or maybe you are, in this case — welcome; I see stalking me has become your hobby at this point.
Who am I
I was born a few days after the Soviet troops left my home country, Poland. And luckily, my parents didn’t move abroad, and I got to grow up in a poor, post-Soviet country. Yes, I’m being sarcastic.
I spent most of my life wanting to escape that ultra-religious, vodka-drenched country, and when I finally did, I had little to no clue what to do with my life. I moved from country to country, got two degrees in Business and Economics, and worked as a model, freelance illustrator, lingerie designer, and management consultant. Not all at once, of course — I might be a little crazy, but at least I’m not a capitalism-obsessed masochist like most side hustling bros on this platform.
All in all, I spent some time in France, Belgium, Italy, and the US, and four years ago, I decided to settle down in London, UK. It might not be the most beautiful place I’ve had the chance to live in, but it certainly has its charm. And nice fish & chips places.
