PolandWhat I'm looking for
I am a human-centered UX/UI and graphic designer with experience in mobile and web design, prototyping in Figma, and user research. I combine design thinking and a diamond design process to turn complex ideas into clear, engaging visuals that connect people with technology.
I have led multidisciplinary teams, planned communication campaigns, produced visual content for events and science projects, and coordinated press and media relations. I work well in agile environments, run usability testing, and create design systems and promotional materials.
I am collaborative, passionate about intuitive product experiences, and experienced in mentoring and team leadership. I seek opportunities to apply my visual communication and UX skills to meaningful projects that prioritize users and cross-functional collaboration.
