I’m Maks Grzonkowski, a graphic designer, illustrator, and animator with a passion for blending structured design principles with expressive, chaotic visuals. I explore mixed media techniques, including ink, charcoal, and paint to bring a raw, human touch to digital work. I’m particularly drawn to typography and experimentation, using abstract forms and layered processes to explore themes like identity and creativity. My practice emphasizes texture and experimentation, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to turn ideas into bold, human-centered visuals. Outside of design, I value punctuality and accountability in fast-paced environments and have built a strong work ethic through retail roles and campus placements.…I’m Maks Grzonkowski, a graphic designer, illustrator, and animator with a passion for blending structured design principles with expressive, chaotic visuals.
