About me

I began my career in PR and Marketing, spending four years in the e-commerce and beauty sectors. While I enjoyed the fast-paced environment, juggling a full-time job, studies, and high expectations eventually led to burnout. I realized I needed a change.


In 2015, I moved from Warsaw to London to start fresh. I did not speak the language, but I was determined to learn English and find a new path. Working in various roles—including at a pub, during Fashion Week, and at a PR agency—I gained valuable experience but it did not feel like I am on the right path. This realization pushed me to explore new directions.


One of them was front-end development, initially pursued because of its financial stability, but along the way, I discovered my true passion: UX/UI design. It was the perfect blend of creativity and problem-solving, and it felt like the right path for me.


In 2019, I took my passion further by completing a UX Design Bootcamp at General Assembly. Shortly after, I interned with SuperSuper Agency, designing an e-commerce website. This opened the door to working with Ladbrokes and Coral (now part of Entain), where I honed my design skills and learned how to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.


Outside of work, I enjoy practicing handstands, calisthenics, and taking long walks. I am deeply interested in psychology and neuroscience. I also love solo travel and have explored Europe and Asia, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.
