15 years of designing & shipping products

A few words about myself
Hey, you found my hypertext home. I’m a designer, two wheels enthusiast, and dad in real life. I write about product design, design leadership, design research, and, occasionally, my biking adventures.

Work

Currently, I’m a design lead at Archilogic making spatial data more useful and accessible.

Prior to Archilogic, I was head of design at GOG, a sister company to CD Projekt Red gaming studio. My team and I worked on a game launcher for a highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077. Within twelve hours after its release, the game had over one million concurrent players on Steam gaming platform1. Keanu Reeves has a starring role in it.

My LinkedIn tells more about my professional experience. I’m currently available for hire: long-term contract work, or smaller projects.

My designer's credo

Over 15 years I spent on building digital products, I learned that only teams aligned around value creation can deliver meaningful and beautiful products.

My teams move fast, design together, always advocate for users but never forget about business or technical feasibility.

Here you can explore brief summaries of three of my favourite design projects:

I love working with startups. I’ve always valued staying close to the coding world. I’m a fan of mixing design with code, and using lean design research techniques.

After work

When I’m not working I prefer staying outdoors. Usually, riding a drop-bar bike on unpaved roads and trails or honing my enduro skills.

Enduro

Riding my enduro motorbike in the mountains.

And if you’re curious, I handcrafted this website as a static blog powered by Hugo.
