Mateusz Drynski

Design Academy Eindhoven

Originally from Poland, with a chapter of life spent in Spain, currently based in the Netherlands. After earning a degree in Psychology from the University of Łódź, I spent over a decade building experience in public relations, marketing, and customer relations. Over time, however, I realised that the corporate world didn’t align with me — a growing sense of burnout eventually led me back to my original passion: creation. In 2020, I took a new direction and began my studies at Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. My design practice is rooted in material experimentation and an attraction to the unconventional. I often explore unexpected solutions, combining simple shapes with bold, bright colours — or, conversely, using expressive forms restrained by minimal or even absent colour. I like to believe that this contrast allows each element to speak with clarity and intention, keeping at the same time some element of mystery. I’ve learned that what matters most — even professionally — is to never forget to have fun. My goal is to express that through my designs, for both myself and others.
