What I'm looking for

I seek a creative environment where I can grow as an illustrator and contribute to meaningful projects.

I’m a Polish illustrator and graphic designer with a master’s degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. My passion lies in visual storytelling, character design, and editorial illustration, bringing stories to life through engaging and dynamic visuals.

I have experience working in publishing, media, and branding, having collaborated with various publishers such as Wilga, Zielona Sowa, Babidi-bu, and Esdrújula Ediciones. My work includes book illustrations, cover design, typography, and concept art. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, and traditional media, and I continuously expand my creative skill set.

Fluent in Polish, English, and Spanish, I thrive in international and collaborative environments. I am currently looking for new opportunities in illustration, concept art, and graphic design, where I can contribute my creativity and artistic vision.
