MARTIN SITTA

Martin Sitta began as an amateur photographer and eventually started experimenting with painting and graphic design. Today, he is a creative designer of many dimensions. One of Martin’s creative passions is identity and branding as it’s a platform that enables him to apply all of his design skills and visual tastes. He enjoys mixing traditional and digital mediums.

Martin’s other expertise includes typography, packaging, editorial design and food photography. His endless pursuit of original work and designs allows him to stand out visually and fundamentally with unique, yet timeless solutions for his clients.

Martin’s portfolio represents the very best of his visual imagination and creative freedom. He finds inspiration in all design fields, including fashion, architecture and typography. He believes good design takes not just experience, but a pair of well-trained eyes with a constant curiosity to push the envelope. His expertise in various design fields allows him to establish unique visual languages across art and design. All projects on his website include his own photography, design and illustration.
