Andy Baker
Transmedia Narrative Designer and Screenwriter
"I had the honor and pleasure of working with Jakub on a AA game. He's enthusiastic, warm, and supportive, just what a writing team needs... while also being clear and direct with feedback, always with an eye towards improving the final product. He thinks in story and in code, which in my experience is an increasingly rare combination."

"Apart from being a great Level Designer with interesting ideas and a great vision on what he creates, he also effectively lead a team managing every single detail of their work."

Paweł Bieniasz
