Karolina Gwiazda is an Austin-based creative powerhouse—a designer, artist, and storyteller with a love for all things visual. She honed her craft at Hartford Art School, studying graphic design and photography before diving headfirst into the high-energy world of Madison Avenue advertising. After 20+ years of creative hustle in NYC, she traded skyscrapers for sunshine, drawn to Austin’s friendly charm, slower pace, and deep connection to nature and spirituality.

These days, Karolina pours her artistic passion into her work as an award-winning creative director and designer. When she’s not crafting bold visuals and big ideas, you’ll find her sketching, painting, or soaking up inspiration from the world around her. She’s all about astrology, yoga, biking, hiking the Greenbelt, photography, and exploring Austin’s vibrant art scene—because creativity never clocks out.
