View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Urszula GireńAbout Urszula Gireń : Graphic Designer/Illustrator interested in exploring freelance opportunities or collaborations. I have my hands in quite a few areas, from illustrating, to identity design. My skill set is diverse with concentration on layout and typography. I’m living and working in Białystok, Poland.
