ABout
Hi! My name is Hania Kmieć and I am an illustrator based in Gdańsk, Poland. I am inspired by old Polish cartoons, graphics of Czechoslovak match packaging and stories of everyday life. I like to create works that bring warmth to the heart and evoke nostalgia. My illustrations are full of humor – I love coming up with funny and wholesome stories.
