Bio
I come from Slovakia, where my journey in design began. After honing my craft through studies, I set out to explore the world, working in Prague, Taipei, and eventually Tokyo. Tokyo, with its unique blend of tradition and modernity, became the place where I could challenge conventions and push boundaries. Starting with a small design studio in Shibuya, I spent a decade refining my craft, digging deep into what makes brands resonate on a human level.
My work isn’t about flashy titles or buzzwords; it’s about getting to the core of what truly matters. I believe that design is more than aesthetics—it’s about creating value that speaks to people on a fundamental level. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for cutting through the noise and delivering work that doesn’t just look good but makes a real impact. Whether working with clients or developing in-house projects, my focus is on authenticity, purpose, and making design work for real people in the real world.
Through my journey, I’ve stayed true to the values that drove me to start in this field: a relentless pursuit of meaningful work and a commitment to making a difference through design. My path from a design studio in Shibuya to a key figure in the world of brand consulting isn’t just a career trajectory; it’s a testament to what can be achieved when you stay grounded in your principles and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

In Poland after World War II, many designers were active in creating graphic symbols. Due to specific political conditions, these projects could be much more free and artistic than in the West. Besides the Polish poster, it is the graphic symbol that is particularly noteworthy when it comes to design in Poland.

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.

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.
