Zach Roszczewski
I am a freelance icon & illustration designer living in Encinitas, California. I am also the owner and creator of Flaticons, a premium icon set marketplace. My passion is crafting pixel perfect icon sets and illustrations that are consistent, functional, and beautiful.
Aside from work, nature is my inspiration. When away from my desk, I like to spend time in the ocean catching waves along the California coast, and venturing out into the wild and exploring the natural world.
Most importantly, I am a dedicated family man. Nothing brings me more stoke than spending quality time with my two sons, Hayes & River, along with my superhero wife, Jordan.
Career Journey
• I was constantly creating as a young child with my 3 brothers. I was inspired by my dad who loved to paint and really supported our love for creating. We would draw for hours, build epic lego creations, and create and edit videos and stop motion animations just for fun.
• I further pushed by love for creating when I obtained my Bachelors degree in fine arts with a graphic design concentration at Central Michigan University in 2012. Thats where my passion for illustrative design and branding blossomed.
• I was then flown across the nation and offered my dream job at a start up in Santa Cruz, California to work as a web designer/illustrator for Octopus Creative. It was an epic opportunity that taught me all of the inner workings of running a design studio along with building out beautiful UI projects for clients like google and other tech giants in the bay area. This is where I realized my passion for icon and illustration design within the apps and websites that we were building.
• After the years of experience gained from Octopus Creative, In 2014 I headed south to the sunny city of Encinitas, California to pursue my dream of running my own design studio with a sole focus on crafting premium icons and illustrations.
• With the extra time on my hands, I noticed a need in the design universe for a consistent and premium icon set that could be easily accessible for all at an affordable price. Thats where months of long nights and thousands of icons later, Flaticons.co was born. After creating all the icon sets for my “side hustle”, it really helped jumpstart my icon design niche and helped hone my skills and perfect my craft.
• I am now in year 8 of running my own studio and have had the opportunity to work with amazing clients such as Airbnb, Facebook, Lululemon, and Bose to name a few. I am so grateful to be able to spread joy through design to so many people, and plan to continue pushing fun into their everyday experiences. I am more inspired than ever and am always searching for new ways to push the boundaries in contemporary design.
