Graphic & Visual Designer / UX/UI Designer based in Łódź / Warsaw, Poland

I've been working as a Graphic Designer for over 13 years and recently expanded into UX/UI Design. My diverse experience also spans working on cultural and musical projects, conducting ethnographic research & organizing events. It shaped how I approach design—understanding people and their needs first.

I thrive in team environments where ideas evolve through collaboration. I’ve worked on various team projects, led creative teams, and enjoy bouncing ideas to build better solutions together.

My design approach is user-first, content-first and minimalism. I simplify complex ideas, remove clutter, and focus on clarity and usability to make designs intuitive and effective.
