About

Hi :). Polish graphic designer with strong and diverse typography, editorial design, graphic background and typesetting will create nice projects. I'm using Adobe programs: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Acrobat. I have also some knowledge about printing technology, so I know how to prepare project for print. I dream about working with my profession and share my energy, knowledge and passion for this job, creating with other creative people. I also pay attention to language during designing. With my eagle eye I can catch language errors because I also have an proof-reading education. I design various types of stationery: from wedding invitations, through posters, leaflets, to books. I graduated editorial studies on a Jagiellonian University in Poland with high note. My MA Dissertation you can see on my Behance profile. I am fast learner and open-minded. I'm kind, positive and energy, honest and hardworking person, I have good organisational skills, I'm flexible and motivated, dedication. I feel good when I work alone and in a team as well when it is time to brainstorm. When there is stressful situation I can find solution. Let's create together some nice projects :). All the best, Patrycja
