Hello! I'm Gaba Guzik, Art Director, Creative Graphic Designer and Illustrator.
My work ranges from art and creative direction, branding, and corporate design through web design to packaging design and illustration.
I draw inspiration from the Polish School of Posters, Dutch Graphic Design, and the geometry found in cities and their architecture. My aim is to develop distinct work that pushes boundaries and communicates engaging ideas.
Feel free to contact me with any inquiries, freelance work, collaboration, or meet me for a coffee in Berlin.
