Hello! My name is Gosia, and I’m a British and Polish freelance illustrator, based in London, UK.
I am a one-woman band behind Gosia Grodzka Illustration, where I create bespoke illustrations and run an online gift and stationery shop, with handprinted products inspired by nature. 

My qualifications include a Master’s degree in Illustration from the University of the Arts in London,
which I earned in 2019. 

Natural landscapes, animals, plants and bright colours are the things that inspire me the most.
I also take my inspiration from places I would like to visit one day, such as the Arctic. I am fascinated by glaciers and polar bears, which hold a special place in my heart. Japanese woodblock printing, such as work by Katsushika Hokusai is a big source of inspiration for me as well.

As an eco-conscious person, I make sure to run my business sustainably, using recycled and recyclable materials as much as possible. It is important to me that the products I sell are of excellent quality, so my customers can enjoy them for a very long time. 

Clients include: Costa Coffee, Monsoon & Accessorize, Pho House London, Hanoi Pho, ROD “Dobry Gospodarz” Wrocław, “Świat Kamienia” Wydawnictwo Abra
