Mateusz Napieralski RGD
I’m a Polish-Canadian illustrator, designer and art director currently based in Toronto, Canada.
After graduating from a Motion Design degree and working for a number of design and animation studios in London, UK I established my practice Gust of Wind Studio. With background in graphic and motion design, I enjoy working with geometric shapes and creating playful and bold compositions. My work can be found across many platforms including advertising campaigns, editorials, digital products, packaging, animation, murals and anything in-between.
I love working with clients who’s values align with mine. Some of the topics I’m passionate about include LGBTQ rights, community building, creative education and mental health.
