Design Consultant & Product Designer

I DO DESIGN BOTH PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS THAT USERS LOVE, AND MAKES BUSINESS HAPPY

Extensive experience as a Leader and Designer in the UX & Product Design industry
made me confident in facing the objectives and building & grow successful teams,
processes, strategies and products.

PROFILE & EXPERIENCE

I am a strong team player with a solid work ethic and a leader who strives  to empower every team member.

Process-wise I am an enthusiast of well-organized processes, drawing conclusions from data and constructive feedback, but above all the common sense.

According to Gallup, my strengths that I am constantly developing  are Strategic, Woo, Empathy, Ideation and Communication.

Since 2013 I have been working in an international & global environment,  and since 2020 in a full remote environment.

I have been involved in the digital industry for 20 years, I have been  dealing with UX design, digital product strategy, leadership, and creating innovation for almost 10 years.

I am also a lecturer at WSE Kraków, I was a speaker at important industry conferences UXDX in Stockholm, Copenhagen, London, Warsaw & Dublin, Internetbeta, Burning Minds, UX Skills, and others.

I am one of the pioneers of the UX and Service Design in Poland  and one of co-founders of the Service Design Network Association  – Polish Chapter. I also had the pleasure to facilitate Global Service Jams  and being a mentor on Hack Yeah, the biggest European Hackaton.

Currently I work as a Lead Discovery Consultant at Netguru, where I identify  and discover customer and market requirements, match the users' expectations and the collected data by creating a product development strategy and translate it into the workload, timeline and budget.

I am one of the authors of the e-book “Design Process for Pros”  – where I covered Discovery and Ideation processes.

LET'S DISCUSS THE PROBLEM CHALLENGE!

The process is the key
Whenever I approach a new design challenge I start the project with an empathizing and deep understanding of both users’ needs and product objectives – business, market & functional. I strongly believe that all we have without data is an opinion,
and it’s not enough. The first stage of my work - Understanding - is essential to setting a solid foundation for the Exploration phase.

Ideation and prototyping fuelled by the data create an input for testing with the end-users early. It enables iterations and improvement in the early stage, before full-scale Implementation. Combining design with an Agile mindset creates an opportunity to deliver a future-proof and user-tested solution that meets the business goals as well as exceeds the client’s expectations.
