About me

I've been a product designer for over 12 years, and I strongly believe this is the best time for product design, ever.

  • Explain it to a 5-year-old
  • Clean UI with a spark
  • Sometimes no UI is best
  • Be bold enough not to build it
  • AI brings even chances for everyone

Free time

Climbing, tango and travel with my family.

  • Patryk on a bouldering wall at a climbing gym, with friends watching from below.

    I climb, mostly boulders.

    Problem solving with your whole body: read the route, try, fall, adjust and try again.

  • Black-and-white photo of Patryk dancing tango with a partner on a city street.

    I dance Argentine tango.

    It is improvised, with constant small signals between two people. It made me a better listener.

  • Patryk sitting by the floor at an evening milonga, lit by warm stage light.

    I DJ at milongas.

    I play tango music for the dancers and change the plan when the floor goes quiet.

  • Patryk and his wife smiling in a selfie in front of snowy granite peaks and a glacial lake.

    I travel with my family.

    With my wife and our little one, the best travel crew I know.

Hey there,

You made it to the bottom of my home page. Thanks for your interest in my little portfolio!

As you might have noticed, I like hard problems and bold ways of solving them. I'm always up for a new adventure.

If you are building something cool and need somebody to help shape the vision in a user-centered way, design a lovely interface and make sure you can actually ship it fast, it's a match!

Patryk
