About Me

Product Designer with 9+ years of experience building complex, scalable SaaS. Complex scheduling system with usage of mathematical algorithms, business analytics software with AI integration available on the range of various form factors, tools for maternal and child healths support - that’s only few products I was working on and which are successfully operating and evolving to this day.

I have experience of supporting, adopting, updating and building design systems from zero. For me, consistency is a key when it comes to complex design systems which are tied to multiple products. With simple but effective framework/methodology divided on 3 steps (preparation/research, ideation and execution) I’ve been able to solve user’s problems and improve user experience overall.

Tools
Figma
My favourite bread & butter provider. Started from Photoshop+Illustrator in the old days, then moved to Sketch (Mac) as it was more sophisticated at that time. But when Figma came out: platform agnostic, web-based, constantly evolving with prototyping features and components, super easy handoff process - it was unbeatable. I’ve been early adopter of this tool and I’m still proud user when it became an industry standard.
Notion
Solid basis for design comes from research and data analysis. Main problems and problematic patterns, market research, interview recordings, user’s goals, ideas - all of this need to be properly collected and stored somewhere. Notion works great for me in that matter. Versatile and simple enough to cover my needs.
Svelte
When a static prototype isn’t enough, I build functional interactive demos in SvelteKit. It lets me validate ideas in code without over-engineering. This portfolio is fully built with it.
AI
I use AI to speed up workflows: generating UX copy and personas, structuring research notes, building quick mock data, and turning sketches into layout drafts. It removes repetition and lets me stay in problem-solving mode.

Hobbies

When I’m not in the world of design, you can find me playing football. Sports and competing is what usually clear my head and resets my thinking. That's like different form of art when, on certain level, you don't analyze that much and just react.

I’m also a film nerd at heart. If Denis Villeneuve, Christopher Nolan, or Quentin Tarantino release something new, you’ll find me in the middle row with popcorn, fully locked in.

And travel of course. So far in "my achievement bag" are: 🇵🇹 Portugal, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇨🇭 Switzerland, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇬🇷 Greece, 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇷🇴 Romania and 🇧🇬 Bulgaria. But I plan to expand that collection in the future.
