Hello! I'm Gaba Guzik, Art Director, Creative Graphic Designer and Illustrator.
My work ranges from art & creative direction, branding, corporate design through web design to packaging design and illustration.
I feel very much inspired by the Polish School of Posters, Dutch Graphic Design, and Geometry you will find in cities and their architecture. My aim is to develop distinct work which 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.
