As the director and producer of the InnLyte Studio Series (2025-2026), she led a ten-part documentary project capturing the resilience of professional artists in Ireland.

Born in Poland (1989) into a multigenerational tradition of craft and visual arts, Dominika’s practice is rooted in six years of formal training in sculpture, painting, and film photography. With heritage tracing back to the artisanal lineages of Milan, Italy, her work balances a legacy of classical aesthetics with a discipline developed during four years of intensive study in National Security.
After relocating to Ireland in 2012 and spending three years in the corporate sector, Dominika pivoted to the intersection of arts and mental health. Leveraging over a decade of field experience, she transitioned from a foundational practice as a professional artist to building
@innlyte as a scalable digital platform and production studio.
Her evolution from artist to social entrepreneur is supported by academic and business foundations:
• Education: Postgraduate studies in Workplace Wellness (Distinction, Trinity Business School, 2025) and Arts & Health (Pilot, NCAD, 2024).
• Strategy: Selected for Enterprise Ireland’s New Frontiers (Phase 1, 2025) and ACORNS 11 (2025–2026), supporting high-potential female entrepreneurs in rural Ireland.
• Industry: Dominika is a recognised Professional Member of the
@docassociationeu , Women in Film and Television Ireland
