About

I'm Bartek, a product designer with more than 19 years of real-world experience delivering web and mobile experiences that generate revenue and win customers across ecommerce, healthcare, AI and finance, to name a few. I help ambitious founders and companies plan, design, build, and ship their products.

Currently, I'm working as Senior Product Designer at Giddyup, designing ecommerce tooling for marketers; optimizing conversion funnels and checkout experiences; building and maintaining a vast Figma library.

In my ex-lives, I helped create POP.IN's game and UI framework; I led the design of the Radpoint's Teleradiology management tool; I redesigned Reach's multi-platform streaming app.

I have experience working in multidisciplinary teams and single-designer roles in organizations of all sizes. My work ranges from websites, apps, and design systems to motion and interactive design.

I joined Radpoint team as Product Designer at the end of 2016.

My role was to rethink and redo all the user interface with key goals in mind:
- All UI work needs a new framework (you can call it a design system)
- Build a library of reusable UI components library
- Design all essential app features
- Ensure the UI consistency
- The UI is easy to use and fast.
- Use user comments to make things better.
- Help the development team with the design's implementation

Work Experience

2022 — Now

I worked on a complex SaaS platform for ecommerce sellers, where my focus was on optimizing the admin interface and designing tools to improve the purchase funnel. One key challenge was streamlining the seller dashboard to handle various functionalities without overwhelming the user.

I also worked on integrating fintech solutions, such as payment processing and financial analytics tools, to enhance the platform's financial capabilities and provide sellers with seamless access to essential financial services.

During my time at GiddyUp.io, I designed an engaging ecommerce experience for The Grommet, a platform showcasing unique and emerging brands. My focus was on crafting intuitive navigation and a visually compelling layout to enhance product discoverability and drive user engagement. By emphasizing storytelling and user-centered design, I created a space that empowers small businesses and connects shoppers with innovative products in a meaningful way.
