Bio
I am a man who is always doing something. After work, you will see me biking, climbing, swimming, playing basketball, boxing training or hiking in the mountains. In the winter I love to go powder skiing and snowboarding. I'm very motivated by the new challenges that drive me forward. I really enjoy trying new things that expand my knowledge and horizons. I love what I do at work because I will never have 2 projects that are the same, so I know that designing wayfinding systems will never get boring for me.
Graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Design, specialising in Graphic Design, graduated in 2013 in the Visual Information Studio under the direction of Ewa Satalecka, Ph. Since graduating, he has been active in many areas of graphic design, specialising primarily in the design of wayfinding systems. He passes on this specialist knowledge by teaching at, among others, the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw. He is a co-founder, designer and partner in the Silesian collective Blank Studio. It is one of the few companies in Poland and Europe that specialises exclusively in designing complex wayfinding systems for a variety of public spaces.

Though this is about illustration, I think there is a tendency to prefer narrative and explanatory elements over visual (graphical ) interest. (But maybe things have changed a bit recently?)

As someone who studied design at a university in Korea, I’ve observed that there are a vast number of design schools in the country. Considering Korea's population size, the number of design graduates is quite substantial. I find this to be an interesting fact when it comes to understanding the Korean design scene.

Polish design culture is deeply rooted in a rich tradition of poster art, known as the "Polish School of Poster Art," a movement that combined bold graphics and a strong sense of symbolism to convey complex messages with minimal resources. Contemporary Polish design often draws inspiration from this heritage, including "designing by hand", while blending it with a modern, digital aesthetic.
