Hi, I’m Michal — a product designer with 14 years of experience, both as an individual contributor and design leader.

I handle the full design process: from business concept (d.mba certificate) and user research to UI design and close collaboration with Dev and QA. As a former Head of Design, I’ve also led team growth, performance reviews, and career development.

I also run the Apploads podcast, where I talk with product and design professionals about building better digital experiences.
