I am an experienced designer working across branding, editorial design, and culturally driven communication, with a practice rooted in context, research, and collaboration.
I have gained international experience at Solid Dogma and Rita Rivotti® Premium Packaging Design in Lisbon, as well as agency experience at Admind Branding and Communications in Cracow. My practice spans branding and editorial design, communication systems, illustration, spatial design, and packaging.
I have worked on projects for cultural clients such as the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Foundation, Vhils Studio, and Festival Iminente, as well as for premium brands ranging from JNcQUOI to boutique wine producers. I have also delivered work for global clients including ABB, UBS, Red Bull, and Super Bock. I hold a master’s degree in book design from the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and completed a semester of studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon.
