About

Hi,
I’m Barbora Adamonytė-Keidūnė, Master in product design, graduate of and associate professor at Vilnius Academy of Arts. My aspiration is to rethink the existing concepts and recreate them. From things as simple as PUP wall hook to objects as complex as Milk Dispenser Machine. 

WHAT I DO:
– design various unique industrial design pieces for clients and projects;
– develop products until they’re ready to hit mass production.
