Gibson Kochanek is a Birmingham-based creative studio founded in 2014. This collaborative duo merges the disciplines of photomontage, illustration, and graphic design to create striking, concept-driven visual work for magazines, advertising agencies, and clients worldwide.
Barbara works at the intersection of illustration and collage, exploring the relationship between vintage photography and contemporary imagery. Her socially engaged pieces balance humour with a sharp, distinctive perspective. Influenced by Swiss minimalism and the Bauhaus movement, she gravitates toward clean lines, bold compositions, and visual clarity. Her practice plays with the tension between past and present, offering playful yet thoughtful reflections on the world around us.
Marta is a detail-driven designer drawn to ambitious, complex projects that demand strategic thinking, deep research, and a spark of controlled creative chaos. Whether developing layered visual worlds for advertising campaigns or pushing boundaries in animation, she brings structure to creativity and creativity to structure. Precision, curiosity, and innovation shape her process, with client satisfaction always at the core of her work.
