Made by a human

No part of my work is AI-generated. I provide high quality service using my own creativity, and skills developed over decades of artistic practice.

Learn more about me here or reach out if you have questions about my process.



Hi, I'm Magdalena.

I'm a freelance illustrator based in Gdynia, Poland.

Through my artwork, I explore the evolving relationships between humans, nature, technology, and architecture. Using hopeful images, I'd like to inspire a shift towards a healthier, more sustainable future.

My passion for drawing began in early childhood. In 2017 I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk with a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. After working full-time as an animator for a year, I started my own illustration business in 2018.

In my free time, I like to draw in my sketchbook, practice pole dance and play video games. I’ve been following and advocating for a vegan lifestyle since 2020.

If you'd like to work with me, don't be shy and get in touch!


Kind words from my collaborators

I’ve worked with Magdalena for 8 years, and she’s the best. We’ve done dozens of projects together and in every one I find her making smart decisions beyond just making beautiful illustrations. Magdalena has a way of making everyone feel heard and valued: her empathy and thoughtfulness create a really nice and relaxed working environment. Probably the most reliable person I’ve ever worked with.

João Freitas, Creative Director at Mezzolab

Vidico has worked with Magdalena for over 7 years now and she is a trusted collaborator on our animation projects. She has contributed to many projects over that time, and we greatly value her wide range of abilities from character illustration to design to storyboarding that help bring our projects to life.

Ashton Peck, producer at Vidico

Magdalena is a super professional artist. She is excellent at finding fresh ideas and concepts. Always reliable and clever. We love working with her!
