About me
I’m Dawid, a Lead Product Designer from Poland. For over 15 years I’ve worked on everything from product strategy and research to design systems. I’ve also led design teams, caring about people and cleaning up the processes that slow them down.
In 2016 I co-founded
CSS Peeper. Over half a million designers and developers use it. Today I’m at Zazmic, helping teams bring AI into their products in ways people understand, trust and actually use.
I take the work seriously, myself a lot less. After hours, I’m a husband and a proud dad. Late at night you’ll find me in
Arc Raiders. Oh, and I collect LEGO. Lots of LEGO.
