KAROL RYSZAWY
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Date of Birth_20/02/1988 Nationality_Polish
The most accurate terminology to paint you a picture of who I am would be:
“Sad guy with a sense of humour”. After ending rather tumultuous relationship with my first love - music, I have proposed myslef to my long-time mistress - graphic design, elevating us from cohabitation to full-time and hopefully everlasting marriage. I’m a cynic, but a respectful one- I simply like people who are wiser than me and love to vex the buffoons. My mind acts like a horn of plenty and I think it’s due to a strange affliction I suffer from, which is - an urgent drive to draw inspiration from everything that sorrounds me: from the basic human interactions, tech, nature to cultural phenomenon and philosophy
