Radoslaw Rozanski

Sociologically trained designer in Cracow, Poland

On a daily basis I translate user needs into digital products, smartly navigating between business and technological possibilities. My main area of expertise is interface design, but I like to play around with branding or 2D animation.

As a sociologist, I bring a solid methodological foundation to user needs research, knowing what questions to ask and being aware of my (and others') cognitive biases.

In my spare time you'll find me playing basketball, cycling or reading philosophy.

Sociology opened my eyes to the complexity of the world, showed me how everything is interconnected, and pushed me to look beyond my own biases. It also armed me with a solid methodology - before I trust any research, my first question is always: how was it done?

My main areas of interest: anthropology of infrastructures, sociology of design, Actor-Network Theory.
