I've spent more than 20 years inside complex organizations: banks, manufacturers, government platforms, global retailers - figuring out why things weren't working for the people using them, and building the design systems, teams, and thinking to fix that.

I'm not a specialist in one thing. I connect things - design to technology, technology to business, business to the people actually doing the work. That's where most of the real problems live, and where I'm most useful.

I move between Canada, Europe, and Barbados regularly. I speak English and Polish, and I've watched technology get adopted, resisted, or reinvented differently in each place I've worked. That's given me a perspective a lot of designers don't get by staying in one market - an appreciation for what technology actually does for people, not just what it's capable of.

Outside of client work, I paint. It's not separate from how I design: it's the same instinct: structure, composition, deciding what's essential and what isn't.
