[ About me ]

6 years of design craft, now with AI in the loop.

I work AI-native: research, PRDs, visual exploration, mockups and prototypes all run through agents in my IDE. It hasn't changed what I decide, only how fast I get there and how much I can test before committing.

It's also why I can take an idea to a working prototype on my own, instead of stopping at a picture of one.

I've designed for healthcare, legal services, HR, real estate, museums, green energy and e-commerce, mostly fields I knew nothing about at first. Learning a domain fast enough to design for it is half the job.

[ Career ]

  1. UXUI/Product Designer

    2025 – Now

    Karts Design (full-time)

    I run UX research and design web and mobile products end to end — interviews, usability tests, flows, prototypes, final UI — along with the websites around them and the design systems that keep everything consistent. I pitch the work to clients myself and defend the decisions behind it.

  2. Freelance Designer

    2021 – Now

    Independent (self-employed)

    Direct client work alongside my full-time roles, mostly through Upwork. Responsive websites where I own the user flow as much as the visuals, plus the brand system around them — logo, palette, typography.

  3. Web/Graphic Designer

    2020 – 2025

    Naima sp. z o.o. (full-time)

    Four years in-house. I designed and built websites and newsletters, working on the path a person takes through a page as much as on how it looks, and produced the print and digital material around them. I also developed visual identities and kept them consistent across channels.
