Hi again!
At this point, you already know my name is Klaudia K. Weres and that I’m a multidisciplinary designer. Here I can tell you that I was born in Poland, but I’m currently based in Italy.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve touched different aspects of the creative field, however I’m a strong believer that “the master of everything is the master on none” and that’s why I decided to narrow down my expertise to only a few interconnected disciplines: Brand Identity, Graphic Design, Illustration, Editorial, and sometimes UX/UI Design. These, to me, intertwine and work perfectly together without losing coherency, and, to be honest with you: I just enjoy them the most.
My mission is to preserve a human-to-human approach in design, not only by creating cool and functional visuals with people in mind, but also by building and curating a digital space for like-minded people (yeah, those that are not completely far gone in the corporate hellhole).
Core values
Empathy & user-first design:
Before I jump into the practical stuff, I like to actually listen to people. Only a good, human-to-human conversation and thorough research can build a solid base for design.
Respect & collaboration:
My whole credo is to work with people, not against them. This, however, is a mutual thing. If you keep being unprofessional for whatever reason, then don’t expect miracles or for people to bow down to your every whim.
Kind feedback culture:
You know those people in the corporate world, who just shout something like “I don’t like it, change it now or get fired!!!!1!!!!11!” without providing constructive criticism or clearly explaining their needs? Yeah, we don’t do that here. Civilised behaviour is very dear to my heart.
Human-to-human approach:
Human creativity and skills win over AI slop. Period.
Work experience
Oh man, I’ve been (and still am) a freelancer, I’ve worked with startups, private clients, I’ve dealt with SaaS and B2B companies - I’ve kind of done it all.
Here’s a skimmed-down list of the most recent highlights:
→ 2013 - Present: Freelance Multidisciplinary Designer
Concept and creation of various design projects for both businesses and private clients, including digital and traditional illustration, logo design, brand identity, editorial design, creative consulting, and photography.
→ Jun 2019 - Mar 2026: Visual & UX/UI Designer at Wesii
A highly versatile role involving:
Brand identity management
Creation of web and social media content
Design of brochures, flyers, and offline materials
Company presentation design and management
Event planning and coordination
Management of outsourcing teams
UX/UI design for the client portal, including hands-on interface application
→ May 2018 - Feb 2019 - Graphic Designer at The Paperplane Workshop
Designed graphics and illustrations related to fashion and sports culture. Other activities include:
Product design
Catalog layout
E-commerce and social media visuals
Newsletter design and content management
I’ve also worked temporary jobs in retail - which, believe it or not, humbled me and taught me how to speak to clients, handle objections, and find common ground. Highly recommend doing it for at least a month. It will change your life.
If you’re curious, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy.
Since then, I’ve added a few more certificates to my toolkit:
Visual Design
UX/UI Design
Design Systems
Design Thinking
Social Media Management
And the learning doesn’t stop. I firmly believe designers should never stop exploring, learning, and adapting as the world (and the web) evolves.
Education & Certificates
Languages
I speak English, Italian and Polish. Just recently I’ve started studying German.
Hobbies & Interests
It’s not all work, work, work…
If you think we all should sacrifice our lives to jobs and corporations, well, we might not be a great match. Sorry.
When it comes to hobbies and extracurricular activities, you’ll usually catch me in a library, wandering through a museum, or exploring some medieval or ancient ruins like a curious little historian - fun fact: my partner is an archeologist and we absolutely adore visiting places with a big chunk of history to tell.
I’m also a big music appassionata and my vinyl collection is slowly (but steadily!) growing, year after year. Last but not least, I’m a magpie for posters, prints and paintings, little trinkets and silver jewelry, and I’m a huge dog person.
And when I’m too tired to do all of that and just need to really wind down? Check the nearest woods. Or kitchen. I’m probably trying out a new recipe… or baking something sweet to reduce the existential crisis I might have over some variants in Figma.
