I’m doing everything I can to maximize the value I bring within the short time we all have.

I’ve led teams, companies, big digital transformation projects – I delivered one of the biggest insurance digital transformation projects in Europe – worth approx. 25 million EUR – comprising User Experience Design, Visual Design and Creative Direction – over 1600 UX/UI interface designs, 1,200,000 lines of source-code and 750 people involved in the project. I’ve cooperated with organizations like Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity) to change the face of healthcare in Poland.
