About

In a nutshell I am a

Designer by choice, Architect by profession!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.

I’m Jagoda Pietrzak, an architect turned Product/UX/UI designer. I was born in Poznań, Poland, where I'm currently based.

Experience

I have 4+ years of experience in interaction design, working with a diverse range of clients. Check my Résumé.

Being a designer means facing new challenges every day. Design is not just about creating visually appealing projects but, above all, functional interfaces. This requires a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology, to ultimately impact the overall user experience of the product, that's why I'm a huge fan of research and strategic thinking.

I'm constantly trying to learn new skills and listen to those who inspire me. My goal is to grow as a designer and become an expert in my field. I believe in feedback and transparent communication.

If I'm not sitting in front of my laptop I'm probably taking care of my 6 corgi dogs, making some dog sculptures or playing squash.

In 2018 I defended my MA thesis at the Faculty of Architecture of Poznań University of Technology.

The knowledge and design skills I gained during my studies in Poland and Germany were a great start to product design focused on user research, strategy and innovation. In 2019 I completed my postgraduate studies at the University of Social Psychology in Wrocław, in the field of UX Design.
