We had very complex screens to design and he did it perfectly without any supervision from me. There was very little back and forth as his work would be perfect in the first version. My developer was very happy as Alex used standardized margins and sizes for everything.

Alex is wonderful to work with. He is punctual, flexible, and above all else, extremely thorough. Not only were all of his designs and suggestions extremely well done, but were also well researched. Alex brought in the technical skill to do the design work, but also helped to provide the industry research and user testing backups for a number of his designs and solutions. I cannot recommend Alex and his work highly enough.

Extraordinary professional! It is a pleasure working with Alex on a daily basis. He is an expert in user experience and design with great attention to detail.


For me, one of his most important skill sets is his ability to self-manage and keep our projects moving forward no matter my availability. You don't need to have any worries once you have agreed on what needs to be delivered and when. Additionally, Alex puts his heart into his work. He gives you everything you need for your project. A truly great business partner.

We love working with Alex. Not only does he have an eye for design and the UX knowledge to back it up, but he also works fluently with our existing design language. He's also helped us formalize and develop it even further throughout our work with him. His work has been stellar.

Alex is incredibly talented, creative, communicative, and professional He'll meet deadlines. If he says he will do it, it will be done and with great style.

Alex is the best freelancer I had opportunity to work with. We had very complex screens to design and he did it perfectly without any supervision from me. There was very little back and forth between us as his work would be perfect in the first version itself. My developer was very happy with the mocks as Alex used standardized margins and sizes for everything.

I will highly recommend Alex for any complex design requirements and hopefully I will have opportunity to work with him in future on more projects.

About

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 8+ years in UI/UX and product design. I work on new products and complex workflows, helping teams decide what to build and seeing it through to launch. I do my best work when a product is still taking shape or has become difficult to manage as it grows.


At TheFlow, I was the sole product designer on a music and social iOS app, helping take it from concept through App Store approval and invite-only beta. I designed the publishing experience, defining how track scheduling, verification, and recovery worked across releases. The later beta cohort showed a 16% higher successful submission rate, 13% higher Track Details completion, and 19% shorter median submission time. Across the broader product, I designed more than 40 core flows and 200 screens, built a design system with over 70 components, and set up a Figma MCP and Claude Code workflow that engineers used for 18 flows.


I usually start working before any UI is designed. I talk to users, discuss requirements with founders and engineers, plan how the product should work, and test the areas with the most questions. I stay involved throughout development so we can resolve technical issues as we design.


I studied architecture before moving into digital design. That background still shapes how I work. I look for the structure first: how everything connects, which rules affect other parts, and what changes when something shifts. The interface comes after that.

I enjoy working when the product is still a bit messy and there are decisions to make. I share my work early, explain the tradeoffs, and speak up if I think we're going off track.


I'm based in Wrocław, Poland, and I work remotely with teams across Europe, the US, and Canada. If you want to talk about a role or project, feel free to book a call.
