Hello,
I'm Aleksandra, a Product Designer & Researcher with 10 years of experience in design agencies and software development companies. With a background in industrial design engineering and social sciences, I cover the entire design process — from discovery to handoff.
Before the pandemic, I worked across Europe (Poland, Germany, and Hungary) before embracing remote work and settling on Spain’s Atlantic coast. I have experience in industries such as smart home technology, connected cooking appliances, pharmaceuticals, and air quality monitoring.
For six years, I was embedded in small Agile development teams, using Figma (and previously Sketch) to redesign web applications or create them from scratch. I prioritize validating design decisions through user interviews and usability testing to ensure a seamless experience. In my current role, I have also gained experience developing a product with AI components, gathering feedback from early adopters after launch to refine and improve the user experience.
I speak Polish as native language and I am fluent both in English and Spanish.

From Design Sprint to MVP: Building an Electronic Lab Notebook
Electronic Lab Notebook
As a UX Designer at Chemaxon, I worked within a small, agile development team to design an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)—a web application for synthetic chemists in pharmaceutical companies developing potential future drugs.
I facilitated a Design Sprint with the entire development team, conducted interviews with scientists, and tested interactive prototypes created in Sketch and later in Figma. Based on user insights, I designed the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which was released to early adopters. Additionally, I collaborated with the design team to develop a Design System, aimed at unifying the user experience across all company products.

Improving Air Quality Monitoring: Insights from Polish Council
Airly Data Platform
As a UX Researcher at Airly, I conducted in-depth interviews with Polish councils using an air quality monitoring system and data platform to combat air pollution in their municipalities. In addition to engaging directly with users, I analyzed real user behavior through Hotjar recordings and examined application usage data in Amplitude.
I also conducted desk research on the initiatives Polish councils take to fight air pollution and used these insights to design wireframes for improving the chart component, ensuring it better met the needs of civil servants.
