/ ABOUT
My name is Aleksandra Mietus, people call me Ola and I prefer it that way. In 2015 I graduated master degree in graphic design and since then I've been working professionally as a freelance graphic designer, illustrator and photographer. Just after my graduation I've moved from Poland to Barcelona in the search of sun and happiness.
I am a passionate poster designer and this is where I always give 100% of myself. On the other hand the market pushed me into an art direction and branding - designing the whole brand identity from logo to the whole marketing strategy. And so that's how I became a branding specialist what eventually became my passion and main professional focus.
I'm open for job proposals, risky weird ideas and cup of coffee.
