About me
I'm a graphic designer and DTP operator with 6+ years of experience and a graduate of a Master Course in Typography (Warsaw, Poland). Creating complicated, multilingual publications full of charts, maps and infographics is my main specialty, but I'm also passionate about logo and brand design and I highly value this creative/laborious work balance. I'm trained in managing and supervising multiple projects at the same time within a team.
Projects
  • Icons for Frontex HQ
    Icons for Frontex HQWhile working with Foxrabbit I was asked to design icons for the signage system in the new Frontex (European Border and Coast Guard Agency) headquarters in Warsaw Spire, Warsaw, Poland. Interior designers suggested using the whole door surface to display the icons. I used Fedra Sans, the corporate font for all Frontex publications, as the basis for the design. I made icons for the kitchen, silent-room, cloakroom, record studio, copy-room, IDF, first aid room, luggage-room, supply-room, archive,
  • Arena mall rebranding
    Arena mall rebrandingArena Mall, located in downtown Budapest next to the main railroad station, is the biggest shopping center in Hungary. After it was purchased by one of Foxrabbit's regular clients, NEPI Rockcastle, we were asked to create new branding. The goal was to create something fresh and easy to use on social media platforms, targeted to young and fashion-conscious people. I designed a new logotype with a simple type modification and a symbol based on it. I created a complete manual for this branding. The
  • Rafał Nebelski portfolio
    Rafał Nebelski portfolioRafał‚ Nebelski, an international awards winning photographer and studio's partner at Foxrabbit, was looking for a better way to promote his work. I was more than happy to create branding for him based on a new logo of his own design. Rafał’s pictures are outstanding and in order not to compete with them, I tried to keep the layout as minimalistic as possible. I designed and created an interactive photo album for Rafał’s iPad to make it easier for him to show his work at meetings with potential
  • Foxrabbit rebranding
    Foxrabbit rebrandingFoxrabbit Designers is a Warsaw-based DTP and graphic design studio that I was part of for over 5 years. After many years of working together, my partners and I decided to change the company logo and produce some well-branded stationery. Our goal was to have a clean typographic sign with only 'Foxrabbit' in our logo. Folders and business cards were produced using a screen printing technique with a dedicated Pantone color. Business cards were stacked in a press and their edges were hand-painted u
  • Frontex ED4BG 2014 conference brochure
    Frontex ED4BG 2014 conference brochureWhile working with Foxrabbit I designed the brochure for the European Day for Border Guards (ED4BG) conference. The challenge was to create the entire brochure in just a few days. We were asked to use something a little different than the standard ED4BG branding. We decided to use additional colors – dark blue and grey-blue – and Neutra typeface with a lot of diagonal patterns. The brochure contained timelines for the lectures, a bio for each speaker, info about partners, and short descriptions
  • Frontex ED4BG 2015 conference brochure
    Frontex ED4BG 2015 conference brochureIn 2015, Frontex returned to us to design the brochure for the European Day for Border Guards (ED4BG) conference. However, this time we had a more reasonable deadline. We decided to use smaller B5 format and create a cover with wings. The front cover was folded outside so we could place a conference programme on it. The back cover folded inside and contained the map. The whole text was set in FF Good Condensed. I designed a pattern with golden yellow triangles that I used on the cover with addit
