Meet Our Designer — Piotr Duraj ✨
Piotr Duraj is a Designer and Creative Department Director at Konarski & Bzowski, specializing in exhibition stands, spatial exhibitions, and scenography. His creative journey began with a fascination for video games, film, animation, and popular culture—worlds that, from an early age, shaped his sensitivity to imagery, storytelling, atmosphere, and emotion. Over time, these interests evolved into a deliberate career path: first through graphic design studies with a specialization in animation at Collegium Da Vinci in Poznań, followed by a Master’s degree in Advanced Multimedia at WIT Academy in Warsaw. Today, he shares his expertise at the same university as a lecturer in 3D graphics and generative artificial intelligence.
For Piotr, function, context, and storytelling are the foundations of every design. He begins each project by defining its functional layout, treating aesthetics as a tool for giving function a clear, engaging, and memorable form. Rather than adhering to a single visual style, he adapts the design language to the brand, the audience, and the specific nature of each project. He believes that “a good design should remain in people’s memory long after it has disappeared from the space.”
Collaboration plays a central role in his creative process. He believes that successful projects are the result of close cooperation between clients, designers, project managers, production teams, and even people outside the design industry, whose perspectives often provide the most honest insight into how a space will ultimately be experienced. One of his guiding principles is: listen first, then design.
Outside of work, Piotr has happily embraced the role of husband for the past five years and is now preparing for a new and exciting challenge—becoming a father. During the winter, he enjoys skiing, while summer is reserved for sailing. Regular gym sessions are his way of maintaining a healthy balance between his passion for staying active and an even greater passion for good food.
