Ján Bača
I’m a Slovak-born illustrator and branding art director based in Hamburg. By day I shape brands at Sherpa; by night I create illustrations that cut ideas down to their essence.
Creative Practice
My work spans editorial, identity, and packaging projects — always driven by clarity and storytelling.

Manifesto
① Stay curious. Let wonder lead.
② Listen. Everything speaks.
③ Don't overresearch. Leave room for discovery.
④ Trust your gut. Instinct is intelligence.
⑤ Boil it down. Simplicity reveals truth.
⑥ Collaborate. Art grows in dialogue.
⑦ Be kind. Process matters as much as product.
Working together
I collaborate with a wide range of clients — from individuals to established brands — approaching each project with curiosity and precision. I value thoughtful process, genuine dialogue, and work that stands apart from trends or ideological framing.
Let wonder lead!
