About · since 2009

Meet Gabi and Piotr, who lead Holy Studio

We have designed brands, websites and packaging since 2009, and have worked together since 2013. Gabi makes sure each brand has character and a strong story; Piotr keeps strategy and technology grounded in the business. One of us leads every project personally, from the first conversation through implementation.

Founders

Who you will work with

Gabriela Kanik

Creative direction, design and messaging

Gabi started in copywriting in 2011, then moved into strategy. She still creates names, writes copy and shapes brand messaging.

She sees a brand as a story customers discover piece by piece: on a package, a website or a proposal on their desk. We call her way of working a sixth sense: it is easier to see in practice than to describe.

“A good designer always thinks about the consequences of their decisions: for their own client and for that client’s customer.”

Piotr Synowiec

Strategy, websites and technology

Piotr founded an interactive agency in 2009 and worked on projects for Uważam Rze, Parkiet, XTB and Play, among others.

He explains complex things simply and likes the kind of order that makes life easier. Piotr conceived and built the Good Sheet app himself, so he knows a project from the owner’s side. He often solves a problem before the client notices it, giving our clients peace of mind.

“Every project’s success depends on three things: planning, timely decisions and minimising mistakes.”

How we work

A small studio that leads large projects

Piotr helped build the Uważam Rze weekly magazine website. As Holy Studio, we designed packaging that reached Apple Stores in China, the packaging for 38 Resibo products, and worked with Zojo and Mobipol over several years. For large projects, trusted specialists join our team.

“Thanks to Holy, our journey started on a professional note. As a fledgling company, we sought their expertise, and today we have become a recognized brand with our own sewing workshop. Gabi and Piotr believed in our success from the beginning and prepared an image that allows us to constantly evolve.”

The founders lead the project

Gabi or Piotr leads the diagnosis, sets the direction and gives the final quality check. We do not hand the project to an unfamiliar team after the contract is signed.

Stages with a clear finish

Each stage ends with a short summary of what we have approved and what comes next.

We keep our agreements

We deliver strong work on time and bring positive energy. We take initiative before you have to ask.

No hidden costs

You know what you are paying for. We agree on any scope change before the work begins, not after the fact.

2022
We change (almost) everything: Holy Sheep! becomes Holy Studio.

We have been through it ourselves

We know what it is like to change a brand people already know

Holy Sheep! was a good name to start with, but over time it no longer fit how we worked or who we worked for. Clients already called us “Holy”, so in 2022 we listened and kept what worked. We take the same approach with your brand: first, we find out what people already value about it.

How we lead a rebrand

Where we work

A studio in Wrocław, clients in over 10 countries

Our studio is in Wrocław, but we work mostly remotely with clients in Polish and English. We have led projects for companies in Ireland, China and many other countries, across very different time zones.

The studio is a place for focused work, so we meet at our favourite Wrocław cafés or over lunch.
