Bio

Agata Pośpiech is a Polish illustrator and visual designer, working between Warsaw, London, and Hove in the UK. Her work blends emotion, storytelling, and subtle humour — often exploring themes of identity, introspection, and the overlooked beauty of everyday life.

During her years in the UK, London sharpened her design sensibility, while Hove, by the sea, deepened her connection to nature and slower, more contemplative narratives.

Alongside her illustration practice, she is developing a curated print shop of limited-edition giclée prints — a personal, narrative-driven extension of her work.

Artistic Approach

Agata’s illustrations are grounded in hand-made sketches, carrying intentional imperfection, with a style shaped by Eastern European nostalgia and a visual honesty inherited from the design cultures she grew up with. Her work seeks to articulate what often goes unsaid — feelings we often share but don’t always put into words.

“We are all rooted in the same essence — not so different after all. I draw to reflect that.”

Analytical by nature, she enjoys finding clarity in complexity — distilling ideas into thoughtful images that invite reflection. She draws not only from personal experience but from the emotional patterns she notices in others: shared stories, ups and downs, dreams and desires.

She sees illustration as her favourite way to communicate. Sometimes serious, sometimes playful — always human.

Collaborations & Background

With over a decade of experience in design, branding, and creative strategy, Agata bridges artistic expression with commercial clarity. She is the author of the brand illustration system for one of the UK’s largest fintech companies, Wise, and was formerly an Art Director for global FMCG brands. Her editorial illustrations have appeared in Zwierciadło, one of Poland’s most widely read magazines.

She co-runs the design studio Behold Design, where she collaborates on brand identities and creative direction for mission-driven clients — blending conceptual thinking with visual consistency across disciplines.
