Born in 1997, central Poland, Europe. I wasn't the most extroverted kid on the block. Chronically online, wasting my days in Los Santos, grinding MMORPGs.

Due to my automotive bloodline - I grew up hanging around auto shops with my old man, that's where I fell in love with cars. Especially American ones.

Somehow, against all odds, I stumbled into graphic design and ended up as a Bachelor of Arts. That got me into Uniforma Studio. A place that taught me the craft of digital design for real. From there, I pivoted multiple times – UI design, product design, web design, no-code builds, AI-development.

Eventually, I landed at tonik.com. Started as a Webflow developer, bounced between design and code, two years later I became Head of Web Design. In almost two years I scaled the web design team from 3 to 16 talented designers and spent countless hours scoping, selling, building, designing, deploying, and strategically optimizing the whole company.

99% of my work is done for US startups – the founders backed by YCombinator, a16z, Sequoia, hf0 - the most demanding, challenging, rewarding, high velocity environment I've ever experienced.

On the other hand, besides my commercial career - I'm really into experimental, small, weird projects, often inspired by web2.0, webrings, text based/terminal-like designs, grungy textures and messy layouts. Beauty isn't clean but crooked and fucked up.

Off the clock, I collect old stuff – military and automotive memorabilia, stickers, maps, documents, lighters, old devices, books, flyers, vinyl records and all kinds of obscure junk. I'm into old American cars and wrenching on them, Harley Davidsons, firearms and shooting (at the range, relax), workwear, documentaries and community radios like NTS.

tl;dr

29, a fullstack design engineer & team leader, on the verge of tech and design, mentor, advisor, creative director, perfume store owner, collector, former night club owner (farewell ŚLINA).
