About me
My main professional experience is in brand identities, editorial graphic and book design, but due to my personal imperative to expand knowledge I am constantly on the look out for new ideas, keen on learning new techniques and design processes.
I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (MA) in September 2013. Since graduating I worked as a Junior Graphic Designer at Beam studio in London, where I had chance to cooperate, among others, with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and English National Opera. In aim to widen my skills in digital design I did an internship at Nation. Lately I was working as a freelancer at Edge of Arabia being responsible for art catalogues, exhibition branding and campaign identities.
Please, don't hesitate to contact me for any questions, feedback or collaborations.
Projects
- Targowek speaksTargówek fabryczny is an old industrial district in Warsaw. After the golden age in the 19th century, the area started to get poorer and poorer. Nowadays, it is obscure and abandoned. The Social Innovation and Research Center 'Stocznia' wanted to present the history of Targówek through the memories of its residents. The team of 'Stocznia' interviewed a couple of people who used to live and work in Targówek in days of its prosperity. – I was responsible for creating the up-to-date map of the dis
- 'Jidyszland / Yiddishland'– identity of the album‘Jidyszland / Yiddishland’ is an album containing songs collected at Podlasie (northeastern region of Poland). It represents an unique set of compositions influenced by music of numerous national minorities of the region with major influence of Jewish culture. – My design reflects a poetical character of the lyrics and klezmer music. By allegory of the window I wished the audience to take a glance at the past reality of the region.
- the debut album 'wiano' ('dowry' in Polish)SUTARI is a Polish group playing folk music. SUTARI combines style, temperament and rhythm of the traditional Polish songs with the contemporary elements of sound and interpretation. The group plays not only the traditional instruments but also everyday objects and uses their potential as musical devices. In creating the identity of the album, I aimed at finding a modern form related to the Polish folk tradition. I drew my inspiration from shapes of the traditional Polish embroideries that were in the past almost exclusively made by women. Geometrical illustrations go together with the photos of the artists that lead listeners through various soundscapes of the album.
- Frame AgainThe company offers the possibilty of framing photos through both web and app platform. After having uploaded a photo and ajusted colors of the frame, the client can expect the frame get delivered to his/ her door. Beam's work included brand strategy, naming and identity as well as art direction before working on the mobile app, responsive website and packaging.
- Wojtek spod Monte Cassinoa book for children from 7 to 11 years old The book presents the story of a brown bear found in Iran and adopted by Polish soldiers in 1942. Wojtek (the bear) became a mascot of the army. He was travelling with the army through the Middle East by Italy to Scotland. After the War he was given to Edinburgh Zoo, where he died. The project is a result of the cooperation with Jan Bajtlik, the author of the illustrations. We worked together on the general concept of the book and the typography. We aimed at finding the way to present the historical facts in friendly and approachable way.
