Pyeniny is a mobile app audio guide to Pieniny – one of the most picturesque mountain ranges in Central Europe. The fascinating stories, legends, beliefs and myths were enclosed in 25 tales told by the mysterious mountain spirit. To provide a unique experience, the app takes advantage of GPS technology which allows to lead tourists along the routes and play particular recordings precisely in places they describe. The heart of the project is the hand-drawn map which guides the travellers. The app does not use other media to do not distract the users from the natural wonders around them.

Likes people and long conversations. Reads comic books. Loves animation and good movies. Ethnology, mythology, folk, entomology are the key words and very broad subjects for him to discuss. He's fascinated by the Internet culture, games. An Internet surfing addict. In his free time, he swims, treks in the mountains and cooks. If he wasn't a designer, he would be a traveler or a zoologist.
