WOULD you LIKE TO SAY HELLO?
Drop ME A LINE:

ALL COPYRIGHTS TO ALINA RYBACKA-GRUSZCZYŃSKA

Hello, my name is Alina Rybacka-Gruszczyńska and I am an art director / graphic designer / architect / runner / ex-tutor. I love paper, grids, layouts, typography and books. Basically, I love to design and explore.

I’m an independent learner, constantly learning, exploring and paying attention to the context. I’m also a proud member of Awwwards Jury, Cover Awards Jury and Association of Applied Graphic Designers (STGU).
Ever since I can remember, even when I was little, I have loved everything connected with paper. Making prints and books keeps me calm. 
I graduated from the faculty of architecture. It’s not a typical path of education for graphic designers. Because of that, I can combine visual intuition with engineering skills.
