I am a designer based in Gdynia, Poland. Having over seven years of commercial experience, I've worked with a diverse group of clients, from start-ups to global-level companies such as Publicis Sapient, Thomson Reuters, and Puma. My main goal is to help digital products meet user and business expectations and to provide them with a professional look. With design and psychology as my background, I'm highly convinced that user-centered and data-driven methodologies are the best way to make it happen. Being a part of design and research teams allows me to be present at all stages of the design process: from defining goals and research to building complex design systems. Having "the wide picture" from the very first stage of the project can save a lot of time and effort in understanding the product. After all, even the most efficient tools will not surpass simple human interaction. I believe that being open to people and having the ability to listen is fundamental for building successful products.
