A little about me
Hi, I'm Daria! I'm a Product Designer based in Warsaw, Poland. I design user-centered products & what it feels like to use them.
Curiosity is my core driver - it makes me throw myself into the unknown. I'm excited about creating strategically-driven, thoughtful work and collaborating with talented people from all disciplines. I believe that design should be a means to solve problems, meet user needs and achieve business goals.
Currently, I am working as a Product Designer at Fireart (full-time external designer at UBS Bank), where I am focused on creating a user-centric digital mortgage experience for both web and mobile platforms.
When I'm not around my desk, you'd find me experimenting with abstract art 🖼, learning and writing 🖋, practicing yoga 🧘♀️, spending my time in the design community 👩💻 or connecting with nature 🌿.
