Hello!

Letter for
Recriuters

I'm a Product Discovery & Design Manager, currently working in a Polish digital advertising agency / technology group. I have over 10 years of experience freelancing in digital design and almost 7 years of agency experience.

I'm self-taught. I’ve been learning to design since the age of 12, and working commercially continuously since I was 16. I continue to develop my skills through various books, courses, and trying new things.

Skills

    • I love creating consistent design systems, and I pay a lot of attention to detail,
    • Expert in Adobe XD, I'm switching to Figma,
    • Interaction design, animations, prototyping, responsiveness/mobile, multiple styles,

    • I look both at the whole user flow and at individual interactions, to see whether they make sense;

    • I know UX principles, as well as cognitive psychology; I know how to design to achieve desired impact on the user,
  • Business & Discovery skills:

  • Management, Team & Communication skills
    • I can work independently and organise what I need, but I also love working with other experts,
    • I love sharing knowledge and giving tips to junior designers, and in the future I would like to spend more time mentoring others,
    • Basic management skills (project management & documentation, development coordination),

A word about my portfolio

I have only done commercial projects for the last few years; they are designed for specific audiences' needs and affected by client decisions, budgets, and pace of work. As a result, they are not at the visual level you may know from pretty dribbble shots*; they were designed to perform well for businesses rather than on social media. Due to the volume of work, I also did not have time to describe the process in the portfolio or make a pretty presentation; there are only flat designs, but I will be happy to tell more about it if needed.

Let's do something awesome!
