Marta K. Destler

Architect, interior designer, renderist, freelance graphic designer and author.

I have always been passionate about graphics and creativity in all its forms, and I have had the opportunity to develop my graphic and visual skills first as a freelancer, then during my university studies, and later in the workplace. These range from 3D modelling to rendering, from graphic design to page layout, from photography to video editing, from digital to traditional illustration.

I am also an author who chose the difficult path of self-publishing because I'm a control freak. This experience made me realise that producing material for publication, in addition to writing, is something I really enjoy doing and I decided to make my skills available to those who, unlike me, cannot do certain things independently.

For whom are the services I offer?
Independent authors looking for a graphic designer to take care of their novels or promotional graphics, but also bookish boxes or publishing houses.
