Who’s behind it all?

The Graphic Vault is run by Irina Svitkovskaja—that’s me, a designer and illustrator based in Germany.

It all started with occasionally creating t-shirt designs, but I quickly discovered my passion for the unique intersection of illustration and graphic design that merchandising requires. To me shirt graphics are like the best of two worlds, and merging them together sometimes might be challenging, but it’s also inspiring, rewarding and the process is a lot of fun!

I’ve been making my own designs for several years now. And during this journey I came to find that it’s pretty hard to to come across great design templates and illustrations that save you time and help you get fast, yet professional looking results. I often struggled with generic stock graphics, because even if they looked good, the files were often a mess. So I said to myself that I’m faster doing all the work on my own, instead of digging through disorganized layers of some random stock files.

My solution to this problem: A ready made framework that you can reuse and recombine as often as you desire, all as a part of your natural workflow.
With that in mind, I now want to help you grow your own business and projects by providing such a framework with easy to use shirt design and graphic templates as well as original illustrations—the kind of vector designs I wish I’d had when I started

With The Graphic Vault Design, I can accomplish this mission and start a new journey, this time together with my supporters.
I want to constantly grow the library of useful tools and assets, always with quality standing above quantity.

Artistically I love to incorporate new styles into my portfolio and explore unconventional paths. I embrace simplicity, yet at the same time I also enjoy the contrast of working on more complex art. I always try to explore ways to go beyond “just a simple” design or illustration. I hope my work reflects this effort.

When I’m not working on new assets for you, I enjoy a relaxing walk outdoors or I read a (hopefully) good book, preferably one in the sci-fi genre. I also enjoy everything about game- and anime culture… and I’m really lousy at writing about myself.

Feel free to reach out with your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions for new collections.

To all the kind humans visiting and reading: Thank you for stopping by and for your support!

Cheers.
