About me

Hi there! I'm Monkomon, a freelance visual/UX designer and branding specialist. I've done a lot over the last few years: from learning the ins and outs of printing, branding and packaging design in a big corporation, to supporting the launch of a start-up in Rotterdam.

I've been freelancing since university. My gigs have included website building, illustration, DTP, logo design, translation, publication design, copywriting and many other jobs.

Currently I collaborate with smaller clients, fellow freelancers, and NGOs.

I speak and write English, Polish, and Dutch.

Let's create something awesome together!
