Residing in Brooklyn, New York for the past five years, Paulina is a passionate and creative Detroit native, channeling these attributes as Director of PLAYGROUND DETROIT. Through spending time between both cities, she sees the various ‘connections’ between NYC and Detroit; both cities share a rich history which have influenced America as we know it,  both are breeding grounds to some of the most innovative artists, musicians, and filmmakers, and both have endured dramatic changes  over the decades, all inspiring the spirit of the people who choose to call these cities home.

Her impetus for PLAYGROUND DETROIT is to utilize various connections in both Detroit & NYC to inform the world’s influencers and tastemakers by sharing creative news, creating opportunities for Detroit’s talent and connecting people to other people to make new artistic and professional relationships.

Paulina Petkoski holds an Associate and Bachelor of Fine Arts in International Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has studied abroad at the Polimoda International Institute of Design in Florence, Italy.  Currently she is a designer for RACHEL Rachel Roy, in addition to being a fashion industry consultant and stylist.
