Bio
Ola Niepsuj is an internationally recognized and award-winning graphic designer, illustrator and art director.

Ola’s style is inspired by her observations of daily life, in the interesting juxtapositions of urban visual culture, and the creative possibilities of chance and coincidence. Her unique process is based on working by hand with paper; a process that lends her works a playful, tactile, and multidimensional quality when translated to digital format.

The typsetting is unique. The ability to use hiragana, katakana, kanji, and alphanumeric characters in both vertical and horizontal writing is, we feel, unique in Japanese design culture.

In Poland, design is still in the development phase and there is currently no one specific dominant style characteristic only of our country. Until recently, we were trying to design correctly, and now we are looking at how to design incorrectly.
