Hi again! I’m UX Researcher & Designer with strong editorial skills and graphic design background.

Let me introduce myself more closely

Why do I combine different disciplines in my work?

I’m an all-rounder

UX was always tempting to me because of its multidisciplinarity. Thanks to my editorial, graphic, and organizational skills I can jump into the project whenever needed – to design, write content, and review it.

If books are perfect examples of information architecture, then I learned from the best

I have nine years of experience in the book publishing industry, where I managed multi-level processes and simultaneously worked on detailed phases: editing, proofreading, layout, and visual direction.

I believe in structure and process

As an editor and designer, I worked on hundreds of books, so I learned how to manage the content wisely. Anyway, isn’t that important in all systems?

I don’t judge the book by its cover

Yes, it’s a lesson from the publishing industry, but I’m always curious about what is behind it. I ask “why” and listen to the answers, and I always learn how to be more empathic and look at the problem from different perspectives.

I predict unexpected situations

As my colleagues say, I can respond to a client’s problem before he/she even realizes there is a problem. I can work in iterative processes, providing different solutions, and just be prepared.

I love storytelling

My editorial experience made me particularly interested in UX writing. I’m always aware of the tone of voice. Clear language and well-prepared structure are for me as important as a visual impact.

Thanks to diploma

In 2022, I graduated with distinction from the User Experience and Product Design studies at the AGH University of Technology in Kraków, Poland. You can see my diploma project here.

Thanks to self-learning

For me, UX is not only about digital. Not resting on my laurels, I’m in a constant learning process. You can check a list of the courses I finished in my CV.

Thanks to my other expertise

My career path included DTP specialist and graphic designer positions – I have broad experience in designing technical documents and data visualization. It all helps me to design better experiences. In my current job, I am working with big international clients – thanks to that, I got to know better a business perspective.

I live in Kraków, Poland. I love dance and retro style.

I have an inexplicable weakness for physics and astronomy. I can’t tell you why.

I learn German quite intensively.
