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.

Taiwan's design culture integrates influences from diverse cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, Western, and indigenous elements, creating a unique and multifaceted style. Additionally, Taiwanese designers emphasize refinement and intricacy, often incorporating local cultural elements such as temple fairs, calligraphy, and traditional crafts into their designs, highlighting cultural heritage. The design industry in Taiwan is closely linked with the technology sector, demonstrating competitiveness in UI/UX design and smart product design. These characteristics may not be fully understood or recognized internationally. Furthermore, Taiwanese design is often influenced by social and political contexts, reflecting concerns about issues such as the environment and local identity.

It's not unique to Korea; a one-sided relationship has no future, so please work with people who respect and acknowledge each other's value.

In the world of graphic design Poland is known for Polish School of Posters active in 1950s-1980s with expressive solutions based mainly on illustration. In the last years we finally started discovering the unknown heritage in logo design and typography with great masters such as Karol Śliwka, Ryszard Bojar and many more.
