Marta Zając is a production designer based in Warsaw, working across film, theatre, and large-scale stage productions. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (2012), she has been running a studio at the Faculty of Media Art at her alma mater since 2018. She designs set builds and visual environments for feature films, TV series, theatrical performances, commercial campaigns, and live music shows, creating striking, narrative-driven spatial concepts.
Her film and television credits include the hit feature The In-Laws (Teściowie, 2021), the TV series Warszawianka (2023), the feature North/South (Północ/Południe), and the short film Escape Attempt, which won Best Production Design at the Indie Shorts Awards Cannes. In theatre, she received the Best Stage Design Award 2025 for A Christmas Carol (Opowieść wigilijna) at the Polish Theatre in Warsaw (Teatr Polski).
In 2025, she designed the stage for Quebonafide’s final concert at the National Stadium in Warsaw — a large-scale live music spectacle built around a dynamic, kinetic, and multimedia set that fused elements of theatre, live performance, and arena-scale show design.
Her talent and versatility allow her to create both minimalist, subdued set designs for feature films and theater productions, as well as mesmerizing, abstract spaces for TV commercials. Her approach to work enables her to transform any space, as the word impossible does not fit into her way of thinking.
Among her theatrical achievements, she designed the set for A Christmas Carol at the Polish Theatre. Her work is highly regarded by both critics and audiences, showcasing her exceptional skills and creativity.
