About

 

Hi! My name is Zuza, and I’m an ex-architect and Scandinavist turned
illustrator, graphic designer, and brand creative lead!
Quite a mix, I’ll admit. My path was not obvious and not an easy one, but, as cliché as it may sound, it got me to where I am now, so I’m grateful for it.

I grew up in a creative environment, so I knew that I’d be working with visuals very early on. I had no idea how to get there and how to pick one path - as you’ll see on this website, I ended up pursuing many. And I’m glad I did - the vast experience I have and wide range of interests make me a more well-rounded designer and allow me to deliver more comprehensive design solutions to my clients.

I landed in the field of a mix of illustration, graphic design, and brand creation. I can assist you and your brand in creating a very comprehensive visual language toolbox. If you’re in need of illustration, graphic designs, information design, or a beautiful set of marketing collateral - you’re in the right place.

If you want to learn more about my journey, my work, and how to contact me - keep reading! Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me and familiarize yourself with my work.

I’m glad you’re here! Let’s work together!


Zuza Gadomska, illustrator and designer. She graduated from Gdansk University of Technology (as an architect) and from Gdansk University (as a specialist of Scandinavian Studies, focused on Sweden). Because of her education, in her work she focuses mainly on architecture, urbanism and interior design. She collaborates with design gallery based in Unite d'Habitation - Cite Radieuse 318, which produces and sells her illustrations and posters of Corbusier’s architectural heritage. She also does commercial commissions, graphic designs for cultural events and personal orders. She lives and works between Gdansk and Warsaw.
