ZUZA BEDKOWSKA (b. Warsaw, PL) is exploring the contrast in form and working on creating a visual language that will stand in between in the context of constructing one's own identity. Through her projects, she tries to build connections between contrasts: digital world and reality, good and bad, nice and ugly, being together and apart, privacy and public life. Important for her are symbols, strong gestures and playing with paradox in physical and digital reality.
As a professional creative she specialise in Branding with a strong focus on creative strategy, trend research, non standard campaigns and user friendly design. Zuza help design and build brands that are thoughtful, interesting and engaging. She had created projects for wide group of commercial brands, personalities and agencies.
