About

I’m Martin Szymanski, a Toronto-based graphic artist and merchandise designer with over a decade of experience creating narrative illustration, character art, and brand-focused design for real-world products and campaigns. I enjoy taking complex ideas and turning them into visuals that grab attention—whether that’s posters and print work, packaging, logos, or original artwork for music and tour promotions.

For the past several years, I’ve helped lead the design-to-production process at Kt8 Merch Co., working across everything from screen prints and dye sublimation to textile, embroidery, stickers, enamel pins, and product packaging. I also take on freelance projects such as EP and single artwork, tour asset creation, and event posters—always aiming for a consistent visual identity and a strong, story-driven look.
