Founders Note

I’ve always been someone who brings people together. As a kid, that meant organizing games and scavenger hunts. Today, it means designing immersive experiences that spark connection, creativity, and joy.

After immigrating from Poland, I grew up in the vibrant, multicultural community of Hamtramck, just outside Detroit. I went on to earn a degree in Advertising from Michigan State University and spent over a decade building a career in marketing, web design, and brand strategy. Along the way, I worked with both national companies and local businesses, always focused on creating experiences that feel personal and impactful.

Next Clue is the culmination of that journey. It blends everything I love: storytelling, games, design, and the power of shared moments. Since launching, I’ve created custom scavenger hunts that have boosted sales, drawn record foot traffic, and brought new energy to events of all sizes. Whether it’s a downtown activation, a leadership retreat, or a private celebration, let’s talk about how Next Clue can bring your event to life.
