He studied filmmaking at School of Visual Arts in Sydney, Australia. Then took up a course of screenwriting in Fox Studio under the guidance of Robert McKee, which changed his attitude towards story concept. He returned to Poland in 2004 where he gained recognition as a TV commercial and music video director.

His films Zamiana and W spirali were nominees to the "Golden Duck Award" (Polish: Złote Kaczki) at the Gdynia Film Festival, the latter also nominated for the "Golden Claw" category (Polish: Złoty Pazur).

On 10 December 2021 his film Powrót do tamtych dni with Maciej Stuhr, Weronika Książkiewicz and Teodor Koziar was released in the cinemas. The film was well received at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2021 and received the Youth Film Award as part of the Just Film section.

His father was an alcoholic and he has spoken about his AAS syndrome resulting from that experience. The film Powrót Tamtych Dni is based on these events and was widely commented within his own family.
