Imola Bérczi has lived in Sighet, Toronto, Dhaka (briefly), and now Amsterdam—a strange constellation of cities that has shaped how she sees the world. Moving between them has been an education in contrast and connection—a reminder that we begin to understand others, and ourselves, only when we step beyond what we know.

Mirroring this same “Plinko” game of life, she studied zoology, philosophy, and architecture, each field offering a different way of asking questions about life, systems, and space. Imola is co-founder of WOMO Architects, and is raising her children between two rivers in Amsterdam.
