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.

I have the impression that design culture in Poland has been changing in a good way over the last few years. Increasingly, clients see value in what we do and appreciate it. Of course, there will also be people who do not fully value our work, in which case it is better to let such a project go.

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.
