#WCEU2026 - WordCamp Design Dragons

In this episode of WordCamp Europe Insights, Kasia Janowska talks with Ohia, the lead of the design team for WordCamp Europe 2026 in Kraków. Together they explore how a nine-person international team creates the entire visual identity of the event, from the branding inspired by Polish folk art, traditional embroidery, and 1980s poster design, to the Wapuu, the t-shirts, and everything in between. Ohia shares what it means to lead a creative team for the first time, how design decisions are made across different cultures and time zones, and why the design team's fingerprints are on virtually everything you see at WordCamp Europe, from the website and social media to the venue itself. Whether you are curious about the creative process behind a major community event or thinking about getting involved yourself, this episode is a warm and honest look at the work and the people who make WordCamp Europe look the way it does.
