There is no limitation, but I do enjoy to make design for cultural means.

I prefer classic material and platforms like paint, ink, photography. I less communicate with for example UI, UX platforms.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?

There is no negative. Being a designer is very good, but not enough.

The creation process is always fun. I enjoy to watch the shaping process of my concept. Creating posters, books, or cover, logos and visual identity and illustration are the most favorite ones.
Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
I develop my design concepts and finalize them by myself. I cooperate with my good colleagues if I need some professional photography.

How did you become a designer?
Visual language is the most diffused language. Meanwhile you can make your own accent in this language. It is an alternative way of communication, and alternative is always attractive.
What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
I always wanted to be a painter, an artist. Being a designer is no obstacle to become an artist.

I don't think that I am a legend. Learning is an essential. Walk around the streets, try to focus on unnoticeable things. Analyze self existential matters.

In my point of view a great designer does thing that I can easily say: How she/he get to this concept?!

Even an old theme should have a fresh design idea. Mature skill of making a design to come true is important. Easy to navigate, easy to communicate.

Every good design, no matter how important or big it is, can improve aesthetic taste.

I always try to come back to human roots, use eastern culture. Try to be honest with myself and design culture that I carry.

Almost all Polish famous designers. John Maeda, Paul rand, Stefan Sagmeister, Reza Abedini.
What is your biggest design work?
I do like Sagmeister's works, because they are very daring and expressive, strait, fresh. I like his skill of manipulating every design project.
