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.

First-rate. Karolina showed an excellent feel for what the cover should do and how best to do it. She took my vague ideas and napkin scribblings and came back with something deeper, better, and far more interesting. Strongly recommend.

Karolina did a wonderful job on the cover for my non-fiction book. She captured the sentiment of the book really well. The design feels professional yet warm, minimalistic yet approachable. The font choices and the speech bubble motif work together in a way that genuinely reflects what the book i...
