About

“My passion for art, painting, and architecture has always been a driving force in my life, leading me to explore digital design as a means to combine these interests with technology. I am particularly interested in redesigning existing services and employing minimally invasive design techniques that emphasize simplicity and user delight.

I have decided to become a mentor because I believe in the power of sharing knowledge and experiences to foster growth within the design community. Mentorship allows me to support others in their professional development, contribute to the advancement of the field, and continue learning through the exchange of ideas and perspectives.”

What led you to the world of UX?

“My journey into the world of UX began with a deep-seated interest in art and architecture. Before entering the industry, I engaged in creating illustrations and graphics for various media, which honed my visual skills and aesthetic sensibilities. Pursuing a Master’s degree in Digital Art and attending courses in UX and UI Design provided me with the technical knowledge and user-centered design principles necessary to transition into the UX field.

Throughout this journey, I have been fortunate to receive support from mentors and the design community. Participating in workshops, such as those organized during the Łódź Design Festival, and collaborating with collectives like Big Hat Poland have been invaluable sources of inspiration and learning.

These experiences have shaped my approach to design, emphasizing the importance of human-centered solutions that enrich users’ lives. They have also reinforced my commitment to continuous learning and sharing knowledge with others, which I now aim to do through mentorship.”

What advice do you have for future mentees and UX designers?

“As a UX/UI designer and systems thinker with user-centered design experience, I offer the following concise advice for future mentees and UX designers:

  • Always focus on the user’s needs and experiences to create meaningful and effective solutions.
  • Stay updated with industry trends and tools to remain relevant and enhance your skills.
  • Engage in various projects to showcase versatility and problem-solving abilities.
  • Engage with peers and mentors to gain insights and improve your work.
  • Consider the ethical implications of your designs, focusing on accessibility and inclusivity.
  • Involvement in workshops, such as the Futures Cone workshop at Łódź Design Festival, can provide valuable hands-on experience and exposure to new methodologies.
  • Be open to feedback and willing to iterate on your designs to meet user needs effectively.
  • Build relationships within the design community to open opportunities for mentorship and collaboration.”
