After graduating from the shipbuilding technical high school, he worked in a dock yard in Gdynia and that is how he collected money for his first and own computer. With determination he created his first portfolio which got him a job in Warsaw.

As a 3D generalist and compositor he teamed up with Varia Media, Film, killer whale, Mozzaika, etc. He worked for the Ministry of finance, Mostostal, on post production of Polish movies, commercials, as well as on graphics for computer games.
