Key Skills
History
With a background in user experience research and design, I've developed a passion for creating digital experiences that are both intuitive and impactful. Throughout my career as a UX/UI Designer, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from conceptualization to deployment.
My expertise lies in crafting responsive web designs and flexible design systems that adapt to the ever-changing needs of users. I'm driven by a desire to create products that are not only visually appealing but also seamless to use, and I'm committed to staying up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies.

In my recent role as a UX Researcher at Askable, I honed my skills in conducting usability studies, interviewing diverse sets of clients, and translating user insights into actionable design improvements. This experience has equipped me with the ability to empathize with users and ensure that their needs are at the forefront of every project.
At Challenger Project in Warsaw, I took on the challenge of leading UX/UI design initiatives for a range of products, including MVPs, a comprehensive design system and an event in created in collaboration with Red Bull. I worked closely with developers and stakeholders to bring ideas to life, ensuring that every aspect of the user experience was carefully considered and optimized.
My journey in design started with a foundation in graphic design, where I developed a keen eye for visual aesthetics and brand identity. Over the years, I've expanded my skill set to include user research, interaction design, and developed an understanding of front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I’m particularly interested in projects that allow me to collaborate across disciplines, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in user-centered design. I believe that the best solutions come from a deep understanding of both the user and the technology, and I’m committed to bridging that gap in every project I undertake.
After Work
Outside of work, I channel my creativity into hobbies like pottery, photography, and sculpture. These activities allow me to explore different forms of expression and bring fresh perspectives to my design work. Whether I’m shaping clay, capturing the interplay of light in a photograph, or experimenting with form through sculpture, these pursuits help me unwind and stay inspired
Engaging in these creative outlets not only offers a break from digital design but also enhances my understanding of aesthetics and composition. I believe that balancing technical skills with artistic exploration makes me a more well-rounded designer.
