1221 AOA Located in the heart of Manhattan, New York, 1221 Avenue of the Americas is a proud symbol of Rockefeller Group's commitment to modernity and design.
Task I was ask to create and develop a new website that would reflect the unique personality and atmosphere of the building. The 1221’s reach amenities, remarkable lobby and carefully designed details deserved an online presence reflecting it’s personality. |
Approach The way the building is experience is up close. While interacting with it, what’s visible, is not the shillouette of it, but it’s details, patterns and how they play with the atmoshpere combining modern, state-of-the-art infrastructure with amenities rich in nature. We decided to elaborate on that perspective and show the building in close-ups emphasising the interplay between metal, glass and nature.

Integros Integros is a fast-growing startup from Russia providing a way to integrate video stack into websites and apps.
Goals
I was approached by a team behind Integros to work on a social and video streaming service, but as development of their business grew and changed direction, we quickly found ourselves in need of differentiating a new product. |
Results The branding and website was a collaborative effort with Ineo.dk studio, which was responsible for a logo for my client. My studio took care of elaborating on presented aesthetics, color scheme, and translating them into a website that will tease an upcoming development presented by Integros. Among many other places my work for Integros was featured at Interaction Gallery at Behance.net. |

Laura Makabresku Laura Makabresku is an internationally acclaimed and uniquely talented photographer based in Kraków, Poland, to which I had the privilege of working for in 2016. Her work, full of symbolism, folklore and unrestrained imagination, was featured in galleries from New York to Venice Art Biennale.
With Laura and her husband, we worked together on creating an online place that would offer a proper context for her work to give her opportunity to fully tell her story, showcasing her exceptional body of work. |
Goal Laura wanted the experience of browsing through photographs to be reminiscent of an experience of walking through an empty art gallery. Taking each work, one at a time. Not rushing through multiple thumbnails, or quickly scrolling down through dozens of them. In very much opposite direction - we started with recognition that it’s best if we give each frame it’s space and go from there.
Results The branding and website for Laura was featured at multiple galleries and showcases online, most notably at Siteinspire.com. You can visit the website at lauramakabresku.com and follow her work on Facebook and Instagram. |

MUSE MUSE is one of the most luxurious development projects in Miami designed by a well-known Uruguayan architect, Carlos Ott, in collaboration with Sieger Suarez. Placed upon a pristine, exclusive oceanfront, visually stunning, boutique high-rise, developed by PMG in collaboration with ISG.
Goals
As an Art Director for Creative Soldier, I was asked to come up with a brand identity, visual communication and interaction design for the new MUSE website. With prior experience working for PMG team, we were quick to agree on general direction for the aesthetics and how we see the website.
As a symbol, MUSE represents something ethereal and non-literal. We wanted to elaborate on that and create a website that feels lightweight and leaves users with feelings of openness, characteristic of an experience of living in a oceanfront high-rise. |
Results With a combination of Akzidenz Grotesk and mix of white and gold, I came up with very delicate look that would complement the renderings of ocean, metal, glass and sky.
With huge positive feedback from brokers and the real estate community, the new website and branding for MUSE helped project to achieve a special place on the market becoming one of the most recognizable and iconic developments in Miami. |

TTMM TTMM is a name of watchfaces for Pebble Smartwatch designed by Albert Salamon, a Gold winner for A'Design Award for 2014 and a Silver award winner for A'Design for 2017. TTMM was also honored with a special award “Design of the year 2017” by Polish Ministry of Culture and Heritage.
To this day, Albert designed more than 130 unique watchfaces, gaining unique popularity and reputation on Pebble platform. Now, while Pebble is reaching an end of it’s life cycle, TTMM is making its way to other emerging platforms
Goal Albert found my work on Siteinspire.com, reached out to me and on the first visit explained that he needed an online space for his beautiful set of pebble watchfaces. After exchanging opinions on many of our common interests, we seemed to unanimously agree on keeping a website aligned with the spirit of TTMM and focus on having it like a puzzle, moving from the commercial aspects of usability and making a place for something interesting instead. |
Results While Albert worked on branding, I worked on art direction and the website. I came up with a centrally aligned layout, that, with a bit of exploration, gives a visitor a glimpse into what TTMM watchfaces tell and are about. As a side note, It’s also is probably my first and last website to have such an unorthodox interaction, as sound samples added to mouse hovers - which I’m actually very happy with.
Our common efforts were met with recognition at siteinspire.com and dozens of other showcases online. I’m happy to have that project in my portfolio since 2014.

Viewfndr Viewfndr is an established talent management company working as a representative for internationally acclaimed directors, operators and scenographers. Viewfndr’s team is taking the task of connecting Agencies and Production Studios with talented Creators to make it possible to meet their creative goals. |
Goal The current, outdated Viewfndr’s website didn’t enable the visitors a user experience worthy of the company with such an established track record in the industry.
I was approached by Warsaw’s Sixforfive Studio to propose a new design for the website, that would enable visitors to quickly and conviniently browse through an extensive library of Viewfndr’s work.
