Hi!

I'm Karol Szcześniak, an aspiring 3D artist based in Warsaw, Poland.

Though my professional journey originally started in the IT world, I have since developed a strong interest in 3D graphics, especially hard surface game asset design.

Presently, I am working on developing and improving my skills in that area.
