About

I’m a Berlin-based freelance graphic designer, illustrator and wall decorator with over a decade of experience in creating visuals for explainer videos, marketing campaigns, editorial illustration, posters and pattern design. I enjoy turning ideas into vivid images—from corporate identities to retail campaigns—and I work across print, digital and large-format installations.

My background spans Poland and Germany, including a stint in interior design and architectural visualization. I earned a Master Engineer Architect degree in Wroclaw and have completed marketing and digital illustration coursework in Berlin, always aiming to blend architectural concepts with graphic storytelling.
