I help tech teams and startup founders design digital products from scratch or improve existing ones. Whether you're building the next social platform, internal tool, SaaS app, or MVP, I'll work with you to create usable, beautiful, and dev-friendly interfaces — across mobile, web, and desktop platforms.

From UX thinking, wireframes, and design systems to high-fidelity UI and prototypes, I tailor my approach to fit your stage and needs.

-----------------------

I started as a frontend developer — and I still write code. That engineering background is my superpower: I design with feasibility in mind, speak devs' language, and help teams avoid dead-end decisions early. I don't just make things look good — I make them buildable.

I thrive at the intersection of design, product, and engineering. Especially when designing:

Early-stage MVPs and startup concepts (0→1 product design)
Tools for technical users (devs, designers, product teams)
Community & social platforms (like Stack Overflow and Forem/Dev.to that I worked for in the past)

-----------------

I've had the pleasure of working with companies like Stack Overflow, Canva, XTeam, and Forem/Dev.to.

Right now, I work at Reframe where I spend most of my time figuring out what's the next generation of computing and how we interact with computers.

--------------------

Founders with raw ideas who need a fast, functional design to validate or pitch
Product teams looking to level up usability and polish
Engineering-led companies that want a designer who truly gets code
Teams building tools for other builders

----------------------

I currently live in Poland but have also spent time in US and Australia. I have two lovely kids and an amazing wife. I'm also a huge fan of Formula 1.
