Leszek Frankiewicz is a permaculture designer and owner of a farm in Beskid Wyspowy. He graduated from permaculture studies with Geoff Lawton, receiving a PDC designer diploma. He then deepened his knowledge with Daniel Halsey, and since then he has been using advanced IT tools for designing.
He is a member of the United Designers team, created by Dan Halsey, a team that has been doing advanced permaculture projects around the world for many years. Being part of this team allows him to use the knowledge and resources of this group, which also carried out advanced projects in Poland.
He gains practical skills at home, 'on the field' near Limanowa.
In his opinion, this is the best combination of activities to become an increasingly competent designer-practitioner.
