About

Background. Graphic designer in Warsaw since 2018. Identity, advertising, and print — with the discipline to get files through prepress and onto press.

Products. BARYQ is my streetwear label: strategy through Shopify. Boostify, lnki.to, BENOU, BlinkOTP, and RABY are products I designed and shipped myself.

Principle. Ideas only hold up when the specs do. Color accuracy, typography, and prepress are part of the design — not an afterthought.

Process. Direction, identity, production-ready artwork, launch. When it's software, the same rigor applies to UX, build, and ship.
