Sr. UX Designer | Helping designers link UX projects with UX portfolio stories

I help designers build careers they love and get paid for it.

After 14 years in the creative field, including 7 years in UX and a background in architecture, I’ve coached over 1,000 designers on how to stand out, get hired, and grow with purpose. So far, 500 designers built portfolio with my course.

Most designers don’t struggle with design itself, they struggle with direction, communication, and positioning. That’s where I focus.

Through my UX Portfolio Course and content, I teach practical ways to:
• Build a portfolio that tells a clear story
• Navigate job searches with strategy, not luck
• Grow a career that feels aligned, not overwhelming

If you’re ready to take your design career from “uncertain” to “intentional,” let’s connect.

Hi! 🙌 My name is Dorota, 

💡Currently, I create custom projects depending on the expectations of clients from various industries, addressed to both individual clients and companies. These mainly include website design, e-commerce platforms, online platforms, branding and business strategies. It focuses not only on good user experience and a consistent and visually pleasing interface, but also on communication with the client, thanks to which we can strengthen the end result of a specific solution.
 
✨I am exploring knowledge in the field of user experience, user interface, human-centered design and agile because I decided to enter the online world. I want to use my customer service experience in designing user paths.

🔍 I deepened my knowledge by doing courses: Interaction Design Foundation, Uxcel, UMAMI Workshops, Green Digital Skills, Available Design, Design Practice. 

💥 Simultaneously, I am contributing to the Sterczych Uszy Foundation, for which together with the team we are designing a new website www.sterczaceuszy.pl combined with a change of branding. This allows me to learn agile methods and their application in practice.

🪄 Additionally, in order to create projects that please the user's eye, I completed postgraduate studies in graphic design at PJATK, where I learned how to use graphic programs, creating logos, Instagram ads, videos on Tiktok, typographic and advertising posters, vector illustrations, packaging designs, websites, company catalogue, brand book.

💡 I was led to the world of design by a holistic approach, openness to new solutions, ways of thinking and looking at creating experience as a multi-stage process based on continuous improvement and iterations. 

⚙️ My activities so far include several years of experience and knowledge in the field of management, marketing, sales and customer service. I implemented the assumed strategy, managing teams by building positive relationships based on partnership, trust, commitment and co-responsibility, as well as creating positive experiences by ensuring the highest level of customer service. 

My Gallup Strengths: Focus, Achiever, Deliberative, Learner, Responsibility, Individualization, Intellection, Relator, Harmony, Restorative.
