    uniE621 Eva Gifted Hands – Stationery & Print Collateral Design
    This cohesive stationery suite was designed for Eva Gifted Hands, a boutique brand specialising in sentimental keepsakes like wedding bouquet preservation and handcrafted jewellery. The set includes postcards, leaflets, business cards, thank-you notes, and promotional inserts—all thoughtfully aligned to express the brand’s artisanal, heartfelt identity. The design features a delicate balance of elegant typography, soft colour palettes, and natural imagery to evoke warmth, care, and trust. Visual consistency across the materials—enhanced by recurring motifs like floral photography, QR codes, and logo placement—ensures a memorable and professional customer experience, both online and in print. Specialising in sentimental keepsakes like wedding bouquet preservation and handcrafted jewellery, the layout prioritises readability and emotional connection, supporting the brand's mission of preserving meaningful moments with grace and craftsmanship. graphicdesigner stationery print collateraldesign artworker…
    uniE621 Changing Hats Logo Design
    This logo was created for a writer exploring themes of storytelling, transformation, and the many roles people take on in life. The phrase "Changing Hats" became the central concept, symbolising the fluidity of identity and the shifting nature of creative and personal journeys. Using the classic Helvetica font for a timeless, clean look, I integrated a color scheme matching the client’s existing brand, but with a creative twist—mixing colors within the text to visually reinforce the idea of transition and change. To further emphasise the theme, I designed a pictogram featuring a hybrid character—a fusion of historical and cultural figures such as Plato, Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, and Sherlock Holmes—each known for their distinct personas. I played with hats unusual for these figures, reinforcing the idea that everyone eventually steps into unexpected roles. This design captures both the intellectual depth and playful nature of storytelling, making it a fitting visual identity for a writer who embraces change. https://www.behance.net/gallery/220842825/Logo-and-Brand-Guidelines logo branding graphicdesigner…

    uniE621 Food Packaging Pattern Design
    This vibrant and dynamic pattern collection is designed for food packaging, showcasing visually distinct sections representing various grocery departments: Mięsny (Meat), Rybny (Fish), Piekarnia (Bakery), Spożywczy (Grocery), and Garmaż (Prepared Foods). Each section features a unique color palette and hand-drawn iconography reflecting the specific category's products—ranging from fresh fish and cuts of meat to breads, vegetables, and deli items. The use of bold typography and diagonal labels creates a playful yet organized composition, while the seamless pattern motifs make the design versatile for multiple packaging applications. This concept not only enhances product visibility but also aids in intuitive navigation for consumers, making it ideal for retail environments. graphicdesigner illustrator pattern patterndesign…
    uniE621 Kozlak Bracki
    Working as an intern in the Warsaw branch of Dragon Rouge - I designed structural packaging for the winner of the home-brewed beer competition - Birofilia 2009 Festival - Kozlak Bracki beer by Grupa Zywiec. The client's brief for us was to create packaging for one bottle of beer and an occasional short-stem beer glass with a letter of praise about the bear winning the annual competition. Based on the idea of a vault book, I developed a multiple-layer cardboard box hollowed out to fit one bottle and one glass precisely. Both are 100% safe without any padding inside. All branding was printed on the front and back of the box, secured with an occasional paper band. Despite the very high cost of production of such packaging, 8000 units have been produced and given to shareholders, prominent company members and those shortlisted in the competition. https://www.behance.net/gallery/217013509/Kozlak-Bracki 3D Packagingdesign 3DDesign Packagingconcept structuraldesign designer…
    uniE621 Concept packaging
    As an intern in the Warsaw branch of Dragon Rouge - I took an active role in Packaging design for Krakuski Barbakanki korzenne. The client's brief was to create packaging for their new flagship product: cookies shaped like landmarks of the Polish City of Cracow. I came up with the idea of featuring a map throughout the city of Krakow, with these landmarks featured as cookies illustrated and connected to each other. https://www.behance.net/gallery/216996823/Krakuski-Barbakanki packaging packagingdesign…

    uniE621 Mobile Vet Ultrasound - Vet Echo
    Vet Echo provides mobile ultrasound and surgical support for small animal practices that don’t have access to full in-house diagnostic equipment. Specialising in mobile veterinary ultrasound, Vet Echo helps ensure that veterinary professionals can offer high-quality diagnostic imaging and surgery support in a convenient, on-site manner, without the need for costly equipment investments. Colour palette: I used very simple black-and-white with blue to represent health, trust, and technology. Imagery: the shape of ultrasound in an abstract way, also suggesting motion to reflect the on-the-go service. Typography: clear, modern font (Futura Bold) that ensures readability, keeping a professional tone https://www.behance.net/gallery/218325885/Vet-Echo-Logo-Design branding graphicdesigner designer logo…
