Justyna Gluch
Creative Department Manager, Half Acre Beer Company

Guided by the character of each beer—the style, mood, and name—Justyna Gluch translates brewing into visual form. She sketches in Procreate with vine charcoal and pencil brushes to layer texture and depth, introduces spot color to shape the palette, and refines the work through inking and detail. Text becomes the final element, uniting concept and design into a cohesive whole.

Justyna Gluch was born in Poland and immigrated to the U.S. with her family at the age of nine. She studied printmaking and painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, including a semester abroad at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków—her mother's alma mater. Now based in Chicago, she leads the Creative Team at Half Acre Beer Co.
