Founder Magdalena Czarnecki is an Art/Design Director with nearly two decades of industry experience from Stockholm, Sweden. The studio specializes in art direction, brand identity and packaging, both in print and digital media. Studio Czarnecki believes in conceptual visual communication based on research and ideas and enjoys working at the intersection of disciplines — within fashion, still life photography, interior design, as well as designing for physical spaces like exhibitions, hotels and restaurants.

Depending on the scope of each project, a bespoke team can be assembled by leveraging an extensive network of creatives. This approach allows us to tailor each team precisely to the project’s specific needs, drawing on other experienced professionals such as copywriters, illustrators, animators, photographers, and developers.

Magdalena has been lecturing at Berghs School of Communication and at Hyper Island in Stockholm and Karlskrona, and her work has been awarded (D&AD, ADC) and published in design books for publishing houses such as Gestalten, Viction:ary and Thames & Hudson.

In 2009–10, she was a resident at Fabrica, Benetton’s Communication and Research Centre, working as an Art Director at legendary Colors Magazine in Treviso, Italy. Prior to Italy, she was based in Sydney, Australia for three years, where she received her Bachelor in Communication Design from Billy Blue College of Design in 2008 and began her career freelancing for Vogue Australia.
