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.

Polish design consistently marks its presence on global markets, combining diferent perspectives that reflects the cultural context of Poland, while perfectly adapting to the expectations of customers from all over the world. Today polish design not only draws on its history and regional motifs, creatively reinterpreting patterns from the past, but also develops by embracing new values like: innovation, responsibility, resourcefulness, locality, and nostalgia.

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.

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.
