ABOUT VALP:

Valp is Maciej Hajnrich.
Graphic designer and illustrator.

For me graphic design was always something more than just a profession. I want to play with imagination, experiment with techniques and offer professional services because I believe it's the best way to make unique art.

It's art? It's graphic design? It's typographic? It's exploding with colors and imagination? It's... all these and more. Eye candy overbrimming portfolio of Maciej Hajnrich"
