Monika Łyko (eng.Lyko)

Creative Animation Director & Art Director | Visual Storyteller with 15+ Years of International Experience I'm an animation director and creative producer with over 15 years of international experience in 2D animation, motion design, and visual storytelling. My career blends artistic direction with strong production expertise and a deep passion for creating emotionally resonant content. I’ve directed and produced animated films showcased at festivals in Norway, Sweden, Canada, Poland, and Japan. For seven years, I led my own studio — Lykom — overseeing the entire creative pipeline, from script and design to post-production. Earlier in my career, I worked as a 2D animator for studios in the UK and Ireland, including CNN and Ragdoll Productions. My approach to art and storytelling is deeply intuitive and empathetic. I combine a well-developed aesthetic sensibility with a strong ethical compass, guiding me in crafting content that’s both visually compelling and emotionally engaging. I strive to tell stories that are relevant, relatable, and thought-provoking — animations that not only entertain, but also foster connection and reflection. Since 2017, I’ve been collaborating with Studio Wrånes in Oslo, producing large-scale art performances and installations around the world. I thrive in interdisciplinary environments, where creativity, structure, and empathy intersect. Currently based in Warsaw, I’m open to new opportunities in creative direction, animation production, and storytelling-driven projects.
