Early life
Dybowski's mother is an architect and his brother is a director of photography, both of which he has attributed as contributing to his love for art - as most of his family consists of artists. He grew up in the picturesque city of Sopot, by the Baltic sea, which borders one of the biggest cities in Poland, Gdanśk. Throughout his child he travelled with his family around the world; he credits these travels with helping him develop his imagination.

He studied at the Gdańsk University of Technology, where he graduated in Master of Architecture (M.Arch.). Before being employed in the gaming industry, he received a certificate in digital painting from CGMA 2D Academy.
