Welcome
Hello, my name is Iga and I am a graphic designer specialising in branding, web and marketing design and print. In my free time, I love to illustrate in both traditional and digital media.
About me
In 2020 I graduated from the Academy of the Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Poland with bachelor degree in Graphic Arts. 2 week after my graduation, I already moved to UK and made it my home ever since.
My approach to design is rather minimalistic and I strongly believe that in this field – less is more. Like my biggest inspiration, polish poster designer Lex Drewinski, I think a good design should go straight to the point and have a clear message. It is important to me to give each element of the project its proper function. From the simplistic but strong typography in black and white, to rich and colourful illustrations. In everything I create, I want to communicate with the receiver and tell them a story.

Various Clients
Freelancer
Since the first year of the university, I have been taking commissions as a freelancer designer. From small favours for friends and family, to designing whole branding proposition, I now have 6+ years of experience in working with clients, taking initiative and producing various creative solutions.
Iskra Mocy – A Spark of Power – was a project was born out of a passion for nature and handicraft. It’s a small business offering all natural workshops. The owner is a very bright person that radiates a positive, can-do energy that I wanted to capture into this design.
LaPitta is a medditerranean cuisine on wheels that you can find driving around Derbyshire. The biggest challenge in this project was to create a design that combines different cultures without suggesting a specific region (so no whites and blues suggesting Grece for example!). The biggest inspiration for LaPitta was the turquoise door that the client once saw on her morning walk and she requested to use this shade in the project.
Personal
Work
My favourite way of expressing myself always was – and still is – drawing and illustrating. During my studies I was very fond of the still life drawing classes. In a professional working space there is not a lot of room for trials and errors that’s why it is so important to me to still stay curious and creative outside the office hours. I usually draw using Procreate or try out new watercolour techniques on paper. I also enjoy poster design every now and then.
Interests
After hours, I’m a huge nerd at heart. I love video games, sci-fi movies (Star Wars is what I mean actually) and 80’s music. I enjoy a black cup of coffee from a dripper in the morning and lifting weights at the gym in the evening.
