BRANDING & VISUAL COMMUNICATIONSCONSULTANT
anna gudvin
Branding is not just about selling products, it's about creating a movement that people want to be a part of.
I was lucky to be born in Ukraine, where the visual culture is abundant and diverse.
Growing up surrounded by a rich visual culture that both inspired and challenged me. With so many beautiful and not-so-beautiful things around me, it was up to me to choose what to pay attention to and identify with.
After graduating from the art academy with a diploma in graphic design, I knew that I wanted to be a multidisciplinary designer. That desire led me to Warsaw, where I pursued a master's degree in communication strategy and marketing. It was during this time that I honed my skills in branding, using my education as the foundation for my practice.
I help creating brands that are both beautiful and profitable by bridging the gap between art and commerce.
I gained valuable experience by working in both large and small creative agencies, as well as on the client side. However, I soon realized that personal connections were paramount to me, which is why I made the decision to start my own independent practice as a branding consultant.
My passion for branding stems from the belief that a strong brand can truly make a difference. I am committed to helping businesses and individuals develop their identities and stand out in today's crowded marketplace. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and a deep understanding of visual communication, I strive to deliver solutions that not only look great but also drive results.
