Kristína Uhráková is the founder of Pressink, the first dedicated letterpress studio in Bratislava, Slovakia. A Central Saint Martins graphic design graduate, she opened the studio in 2016 as a space to explore the creative possibilities of traditional printing in a modern context. As a typographic artist, Kristína plays with letterforms, bold shapes, and vivid colours to create striking, contemporary works. From the press bed to the finished print, Pressink is where centuries-old craft meets the dynamic energy of our hyper-modern world.
