Profoundly inspired by the promise of worlds of adventure within, Wilczynski proudly announced to her Kindergarten classmates when asked, that she wanted to be a librarian when she grew up. The reaction from her aspiring firefighter, police officer, lawyer, doctor and nurse classmates didn’t exactly elevate her popularity status. And even though she couldn’t yet read most of the books she cherished, she felt the power of her imagination ignited when turning the pages of written language that were crafted and combined with the language of art and design.

The communication arts singled her out before she knew what it was called and she manifested an entrepreneurial spirit without knowing that it would spoil her for any other approach to work, life and learning. She trusted the dream and in turn found a career that allows her to fill her insatiable curiosity about all topics of discovery while journeying with other passionate entrepreneurs, deep thinkers, dreamers and renegades from just about every industry.

Wilczynski has Sharpied nametags with titles such as: Co-Founding Partner, Senior Editorial Art Director, Creative Director, Photographer, Videographer, Co-Founding Board Member, Events Director and Co-Conspirator.

Though you will notice that Librarian is not on that list, Wilczynski knew early enough that she was meant to be a guide and interpreter of sorts. She has been privileged to help translate the dreams of clients from almost every industry over the past 20 years.

Most recently, Wilczynski has been invited to serve as Senior Consultant for Wonder Women, an organization committed to empowering women to lead, to contribute and to impact society. Whenever asked about this collaborative effort, Wilczynski is quoted as saying, “Aligning my life’s work with the mission and vision of Wonder Women will be fulfilling a great desire to contribute to women’s causes all over the world. I am honored and humbled.” Read more about Alina…
