About

Hey, I'm Mikołaj
(pronounced meek-oh-why)

I'm a digital product designer. I help companies create and improve their apps, websites, and anything else you can click or tap on your device.

My goal is to solve everyday problems of an ordinary person. That's, I hope, the most efficient way to improve the lives of the ones who need it the most.

To keep this promise, I design intuitive experiences, and then make an irresistible pitch to bring them home. A stakeholder is yet to yawn during my presentation.

Naturally, I still care about the commercial success of my projects (I have bills to pay too). But I try to work with companies that align with my personal values.

I tend to geek out about cybersecurity, which is why I work at NordPass — a password manager made by the folks behind NordVPN. There, I look after our enterprise customers and lead the design system team.

Before that, I've spent almost five years at tonik, where, besides my regular responsibilities, I was also a team leader and a copywriter.

Speaking of that, I love writing. Whenever I get the chance, I help businesses sound more like themselves and explain what they really do, in style.

But since I already have a full-time job, that happens rarely. So to scratch that itch, I blog or help my friends write anything from cover letters to breakup texts (and Tinder bios later).

And if I'm not doing any of those things, I like to spend my afternoons sitting at my third place with a cup of damn good coffee and let my mind wander.
