What I'm looking for

I'm looking for innovative design projects where I can focus on functionality, ergonomics, and usability. I enjoy working across the full design process—from research and concept development to prototyping and visualization. I'm motivated by projects that bring real value to users and allow space for creative problem-solving, thoughtful details, and responsible design.

I am a product designer with a master’s degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and several years of experience in industrial and graphic design. I specialize in the design of physical products and have been involved in projects across different scales and stages—from early research and ideation to prototyping, user testing, and final visualization.

My skill set includes ergonomic analysis, 3D modeling, sketching, and preparing materials for production. I place a strong emphasis on usability, functionality, and original ideas that respond to real user needs. Since early 2024, I have been running my own design business, working independently with clients on both product and visual design tasks.

I also enjoy creating graphic design, including brand identity and poster design. My student projects have been recognized in design competitions, and I continue to value thoughtful, impactful solutions in my professional work. Outside of design, I’m passionate about outdoor activities—mountain hiking, climbing, biking, and spending time in nature—as well as exploring new technologies.
