I create thoughtful graphic concepts and brand identities for companies that want to stand out in the market and achieve their goals.

01About

Who I am

Krystian Kacprzak — Head of Design

I design brand identities by combining a strong sense of aesthetics with business objectives. As Head of Design at a marketing agency, I lead a creative team, ensuring the highest artistic and production standards across every project. I combine a leadership role with hands-on work: I personally design key creative assets and manage direct contact and relationships with the agency's key clients.

My approach is built on precision and reliability, and a deep understanding of business needs. I specialize in creating consistent visual identity systems, branding materials, and 360° advertising campaigns that build strong, recognizable market positions for brands. Working in an agency environment has taught me how to efficiently combine strategic concepts with flawless graphic execution.

I graduated with honors in Graphic Design (AHE in Łódź), and I'm currently broadening my management knowledge through a Master's degree in Management in Warsaw. Combining hard design skills with management expertise allows me to deliver solutions that are not only visually refined, but above all operationally effective and results-driven.

05Offer

Services

01Logo & Branding

I design logos and complete visual identity systems that are easily recognizable and work well across every medium, from a business card to a billboard. Every project starts with understanding the brand, its values and its audience, and ends with a finished brand book.

  • — Logo and mark variations
  • — Brand book
  • — Color and typography system
  • — Corporate stationery
02Brand Strategy

Before I design a single visual element, I define the brand's positioning: who it is, who it speaks to, and what sets it apart from the competition. This means the visual identity isn't just nice to look at, it actually supports business goals.

  • — Brand positioning
  • — Competitive analysis
  • — Tone of voice
  • — Brand architecture
03Digital & UI

I design websites, landing pages and app interfaces that stay consistent with the rest of the brand identity and are friendly to use. I make sure digital design is not only visually strong but also ready for developers to implement.

  • — Website / app design
  • — Design system
  • — Interactive prototypes
  • — Digital graphics and banners
04Motion & Animation

I bring visual identity to life in motion, from an animated logo reveal to short-form video for social media and presentations. Well-crafted animation strengthens brand recognition exactly where static graphics fall short.

  • — Logo animation (logo reveal)
  • — Motion graphics for social media
  • — Video intros / outros
  • — Animated presentations
05Key Visuals & Art Direction

I lead the art direction of advertising campaigns and create the key visuals that become their visual centerpiece. From mood boards and first concepts, through photo shoots, to final creative used across every channel.

  • — Campaign key visual
  • — Art direction
  • — Mood boards and creative concepts
  • — Photo shoot supervision
06Print & Packaging

I design packaging and printed materials ready for production from day one, accounting for bleeds, color separation and the specific requirements of a given printer. This is the stage where mistakes are the most expensive, so I pay close attention to file accuracy.

  • — Packaging design
  • — Catalogues, flyers, folders
  • — Print-ready artwork (DTP)
  • — Print production oversight
07Event Signage & POS

I design exhibition and event materials (from trade show booths to store or conference signage) so the brand stays consistent beyond screen and paper. I account for real-world dimensions, materials and installation, not just how it looks in a render.

  • — Trade show booths and stands
  • — Event and conference signage
  • — POS materials and storefronts
  • — Roll-ups, backdrops, flags
08Social Media & Content Design

I design templates and individual graphics for social media that keep the brand consistent even at high publishing frequency. I also create campaign creative tailored to specific goals, from reach to sales.

  • — Post and graphic templates
  • — Cross-channel visual consistency
  • — Creative campaigns for social media
  • — Performance ad creative
09Video Production

I produce short-form video for social media and advertising, from concept and script, through filming, to editing. Ready-to-publish reels and spots, paced and styled for the channel they'll run on, not graphic animation (that's Motion & Animation).

  • — Concept and script
  • — Filming
  • — Editing and color grading
  • — Social media cuts (reels, 9:16)
