I have over 15 years of experience working as a designer. During that time I was a Lead Product Designer, Head of Design, and Agile Product Owner both for startups and large tech organizations.
-------
Currently I work at Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) UX product design team.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a hosted Kubernetes service that lets you run containerized applications on Google Cloud's infrastructure. It's a fully managed service, so Google takes care of the underlying infrastructure, including provisioning and managing the nodes, scheduling and deploying containers, and handling networking and load balancing.

I have experience working with startups and international corporations, including Sway (US), Arabella Labs (US), ZEN.com (Poland), G2A.com (Poland, Hong Kong), Ralloo.com (UK), and Blushy.co (UK).
From August to December 2016, I served as the Head of Design at Upnext Technologies (Warsaw, Poland) www.upnext.io. Between September 2012 and June 2016, I was the Head of Design, user interface and user experience designer at Macoscope www.macoscope.co, a software consultancy (design and development) based in Warsaw, Poland.
As Head of Design, I had a broad range of cross-disciplinary responsibilities. I served as the primary point of contact for clients from project start until delivery of the service or app to the market. I advised clients on app features, project scope, and design and technology possibilities. I researched, explored, and found solutions fitting both user needs and client budgets. I ideated and created low- and high-fidelity prototypes of apps and services. I collaborated with the development team according to the precepts of the Scrum methodology on a daily basis. I fostered proper communication and shared understanding within the team. I interviewed prospective employees, motivated co-workers, and created conditions that helped them to be the best at their jobs. I oversaw the internal and external design process and collaborated with the marketing and planning teams, as well as with the executives on crafting the company's strategy.
Until 2013, I was the co-owner and creative director of BrandLabel Communication, a brand design studio: www.brandlabel.eu. Between 2008 and 2013, I also had my own graphic design studio where I focused on brand and book design: KiwiStudio www.kiwistudio.pl.
