I design AI and data-heavy products that people actually understand — and act on.

START HERE
A free 30-min teardown of your product. I'll walk through it live and name the two changes I'd make first — yours to keep whether or not we work together. Or go straight to the $600 audit: your core flow reviewed and one screen fully redesigned, in 5 days.

WHAT I DO
0→1 product design for AI and B2B SaaS. Dashboards, AI interfaces, onboarding, and the design systems that keep them consistent as you ship. Figma to dev-ready handoff, brand and marketing site when you need it.

WHO I WORK WITH
Founders and small product teams who need a senior designer now, not a hiring process. Comfortable as the only designer in the room, equally at home with PMs and engineers.

WHY TEAMS HIRE ME FOR AI PRODUCTS
Most AI products fail at the same place: the model works, and the user still doesn't know what to do. That's an interface problem, and it's the one I've solved repeatedly.

Veltrix AI. Sole designer, zero to launch. Replaced the dashboard with a plain-English insight feed. Week-4 retention 22% to 49%.

Rembrand AI. AdTech platform placing brands inside video for three audiences. Designing for preview and veto took placement acceptance 38% to 72%, and approval time from roughly 3 days to under 10 minutes.

Luna Health AI. Six clinical domains made readable for non-medical users. Correct self-reading of results 45% to 82%.

Dreamteam. Esports analytics for 1.2M+ users, partnered with Fnatic, NAVI, Faceit and ESL. Weekly return 18% to 41%.

Before that: Lead Product Designer on BP's EV-charging platform across EU and Asia, Sr. Product Designer at diib. 10+ years, from AI startups to Fortune-level enterprises.

HOW I WORK
Discovery call, research, wireframes, high-fidelity, handoff. You sign off at every stage. I bring research footage to disagreements instead of opinions, and I'll tell you when a feature isn't the problem.

Figma. Design systems. Data visualization. AI and LLM interfaces. PostHog. GA.
Based in Warsaw, working across EU and US time zones. English, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish.
