I design advertising materials both for print and digital media. I also believe in the power of illustrations and work with many like-minded clients who want to use their visual style to stand out.
The scope of my work is quite broad — as a generalist, I can design almost everything from pixel art to billboards (see below). I work both in vector and bitmap applications for professional designers, which gives me a greater amount of creative freedom.
As for my designing tools, I love using them, as well as teaching others to do so. That’s why I ran training sessions in Adobe Illustrator and now do so for Affinity Designer.
I’ve been working for SME companies and established professionals since 2007.

Firsthand recommendations
Radek cooperated very well with me. Although the assignment of the illustration and any creative work are often very general on the part of the client and the end result is not very clear, in this case Radek very quickly understood my needs and completed the work within a few days exactly according to my ideas. Before I expected completion and within the budget we set at the beginning of the partnership. I definitely recommend working with Radek. I'm already looking forward to the next job.
Radek Zmitko has produced a number of original illustrations for our blog about freelancing, and I would like to endorse him here for his strengths: He’s a professional who knows how to work with assignments, drafts, and feedback. He is reliable and always delivers on time, even checks whether his email with files has been received. He handles all communication with ease, and it is a pleasure to work with him. But most of all, he creates beautiful pictures!
