Employee onboarding assistant for Slack.
Hello, I’m Piotr /p·yo·ter/ 👋
A full-stack design partner for companies that innovate
I’m a product designer with 15 years of cross-functional experience in the tech industry, striving to make software exciting and effortless to use.
What I do
I help technology companies make products people like to use. I work across the complete design process, from deep dives into complex user experience problems all the way to final implementation assets.
UX audit
Advanced products need advanced interfaces. Let me help you identify what you can do better and propose a range of practical solutions.
Wireframe design
Gather feedback from different stakeholders and make informed design decisions with a comprehensive blueprint of key screens and interactions.
Visual design
Use visual cues not only to make your interface look good, but also to help your customers use your product with ease.
Conversational UI
Give your product a voice. I’ll help you create chat- and voice-based apps people enjoy talking to.
Projects
Over the years I’ve worked with a wide range of startups and established companies. Most recently, I’ve collaborated with Wizehire.com, a recruiting platform for small business owners. Earlier, I helped rebuild Mixbook.com’s photo book editor, assisted Brainly.com with the launch of their first subscription plan, gave Mytos.bio (YC ’18) a hand with their first web app, and designed a data dashboard for Rainforest Connection (Google.org grant recipient). I’ve also worked on internal tooling projects at Bol.com (largest Dutch e-commerce site) and TMG.nl (Dutch/Belgian media publisher). Today I continue to work with teams large and small, particularly on early-stage web and mobile apps (iOS and Android).

I have several extra-curricular projects under my belt. Here are some highlights.
