Karolina Kruk-Umięcka – Designer

I'm a geek when it comes to creating book covers. I have 8 yrs of experience as graphic designer, 6 at the publishing house and still going!

Overview

I started my graphic design journey in 2012 when I decided to start the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. Having a creative career has always been my dream. In 2014, while still studying, I started working in a small advertisement agency, which gave me a lot of experience in an ad environment. When I decided to change the field for more artistic work, I found my place in BBK- the biggest Polish company in home decorations. There, for two years I could work on fantastic projects like textile designs, ceramics, etc. Now, for over 6 years I have worked in a publishing house, where I found my biggest love in the design field- books. I work on creating covers, infographics, as well as typesetting.

At work, I always make sure I deliver what I promised and stick to my deadlines. I try to approach my tasks creatively and take care of my clients' needs.

As a first time author, Karolina was fantastic to work with. Her layouts were very professionally done and she was easy to collaborate with. She was also patient with my questions and acted a bit like a coach as well. I'll be using her again on my next book project!
