I studied sociology, which taught me to observe how people behave and why. Then I pursued a postgraduate degree in User Experience & Product Design to turn that understanding into something tangible. For the past 8 years I've been designing digital products across finance, trading, healthcare, e-commerce, and agriculture - industries where getting the details wrong has real consequences.
I'm based in Warsaw. I design meaningful experiences that shape how people interact with technology. I believe a user-centric approach to product delivery is the key to user satisfaction - not as a nice-to-have, but as the foundation everything else is built on.
I start by understanding the problem - not just the brief, but the people behind it. That means talking to users, mapping journeys, questioning assumptions, and making sure the team is solving the right problem before jumping into solutions. I work closely with POs, PMs, stakeholders, developers, and QA - not in handoff mode, but in continuous collaboration. I bring arguments backed by data, advocate for the user when priorities compete, and stay involved through implementation to make sure the design survives contact with code.
I've led design teams and built processes from scratch - estimation frameworks, work schedules, accessibility programs. I care about the system around the design as much as the design itself, because good work doesn't happen without a good process.
I don't design based on assumptions. User interviews, usability testing, card sorting, competitive audits - I use the right method for the question and let the data shape the direction.
I bridge design, product, and engineering. I've managed design teams, resolved cross-team conflicts, and built collaboration frameworks that keep everyone aligned and delivering on time.
I've built and led an accessibility program covering 36 designers and multiple product teams. WCAG compliance isn't an afterthought in my work - it's built in from the start.
Commodities trading, medical equipment configuration, agricultural purchasing - I invest time in understanding the business deeply enough to make sound design decisions in specialized fields.
Managing design teams, delegating tasks, building estimation frameworks, running design critiques, and developing processes that improve delivery across disciplines. I've also mentored a Junior UX Designer, supporting her growth through regular feedback, pair design sessions, and guided project work.
WCAG 2.2 (targeting AA), accessibility audits, creating checklists for UX/UI/Dev/QA teams, building reusable component guidelines with keyboard interaction and screen reader support documentation.
User interviews, usability testing, surveys, card sorting, competitive audits, heuristic evaluations, persona creation, journey mapping. I've conducted research across multiple rounds and used findings to drive measurable design improvements.
Figma (advanced), wireframing, high-fidelity prototyping, interaction design, design systems, responsive design (web + mobile). I work with existing design systems and create new components when needed.
Designing communication strategies for multi-segment audiences, writing UX copy, crafting onboarding flows, and creating user-facing documentation. I've designed phased rollout communication for 6 distinct user segments.
Working with PMs, POs, BAs, and stakeholders to define project direction. Facilitating workshops, aligning priorities, negotiating scope, and translating business goals into design decisions - even when the client has a strong competing vision.
Partnering with dev teams and QA to ensure design fidelity. Writing detailed specs with accessibility annotations, reviewing implementations, resolving design-dev conflicts, and iterating based on technical constraints.

When I'm not designing, I'm probably on a tennis court, exploring a new country (35 and counting), or reading - mostly self-development, crime fiction, fantasy, and psychology. I also love photography and doing things outdoors. And I'm very much a dog person - I have one and she's the best part of coming home.
