Martyna Barbara Golik

"Use of color and considering materials that add tactility are vital for creating a design which positively influences user's emotions and well-being.

I consult and help with creating bespoke designs and solutions that strengthen brand portfolio and enhance visual identity.

Through my practice, I strive to propose new solutions shaped for the changing needs of modern human while being rooted in mindful, honest and planet-aware design approach."
