ABOUT VALP:

Valp is Maciej Hajnrich.
Graphic designer and illustrator.

For me graphic design was always something more than just a profession. I am playing with imagination, experiment with techniques and offer professional services because I believe it's the best way to make unique art.

"It's art? It's graphic design? It's typographic? It's exploding with colors and imagination? It's... all these and more. Eye candy overbrimming portfolio of Maciej Hajnrich" Carole Guevin / Netdiver.net

Words quoted above describes my work in such amazing way. I am honoured and obligated to do more and better all the time.

BACKGROUND:

Born in 1981, Poland. When digital art was (just) a hobby I was an editor in several video games magazines.

Graduated IT with basics of graphic design and multimedia in 2005. Working since 2003 as a graphic designer and art director. Gained enough experience to start full-time freelance at the beginning of June 2007.
