I'm a product designer with 5 years of experience, cat admirer, football fan and gym lover. I currently live in Kraków, Poland. I have completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Informatics at AGH University of Science and Technology, specializing in Product Design. In my design career I have worked for both product companies and software houses. Among them I can mention OLX, Miquido, Brainly and Interia. Outside of work itself, I love to get involved in various initiatives – I have had the opportunity to co-organise and run Halo Design conference, I have given lectures at events such as "The dark side of UX", "UX B-B" UXberries science club. I was also a mentor at the UX&PD postgraduate course at AGH. I am hungry for knowledge and try to get the most out of every experience. I actively seek feedback from the people I work with so that I can work not only on my assigned tasks, but also on myself and my skills.
