Crafting intuitive solutions
for a seamless user experience

Hello there! I’m Paweł, a seasoned QA Engineer with five years of professional experience in ensuring product quality. My journey led me through personal and pro bono projects, honing my skills and deepening my passion for creating exceptional user experiences.

Armed with a solid foundation from completing IT studies and a postgraduate degree in UX Design, I am on a transformative journey. My heart lies in simplifying and enhancing user interactions, and I find joy in contemplating solutions that make life easier for people in the world of UX.

With a love for UX design that knows no bounds, I am excited about the transition and eager to contribute my unique blend of QA expertise and UX enthusiasm to the design landscape. Let’s connect and explore the possibilities of crafting seamless, user-centric solutions together!

– AREAS OF EXPERTISE –

All people have their own point of view. That’s why designing can be never fully objective. To reduce the influence of our perspective it is important to talk and actively listen to the target users. Research should be done in the beginning of a project. In my experience I was using the Guerilla research method. After that I was able to create a user persona to visualize who can possibly be a user.

I really like minimalistic approach when it comes to life. Mobile or web applications are just tools for people to achieve their goals. If tools are nice and sharp, users can get what they want easily and just like the product. I try to put that philosophy into my designs and let them breathe. Fancy and trendy look can be impressive but they should be at first – usable. People remember bad things more than good.

Before developers put hands on our project it is helpful to visualize our ideas. A static design is first stage of that but more advanced features need a clickable prototype. In my projects I mostly used my custom elements and create a design system. I like this approach, because every project is different and require it’s own soul. I have also experience with Google Material Design

Even after best research designer’s ideas can go not in the same direction as user’s expectations. When the first design is done it is important to validate our decisions and show the prototype to users. Usability is a crucial part of every application but the users’ emotions can be the main factor of project success. Having this in mind, the design and testing cycle can provide the best product.

Embracing a minimalistic philosophy, I approach the creation of websites with a fundamental belief that digital tools, be they WordPress/Divi websites or applications developed through low-code/no-code platforms, should be seamlessly aligned with users’ goals. For me, the essence lies in crafting digital experiences that are not only aesthetically pleasing but, above all, highly usable.
