Jadwiga Sierocinska
I'm a designer who blends artistry with technical know-how and is constantly curious and eager to expand my skills. I love diving into research to ensure my designs aren't just pretty but also packed with purpose. While I'm all about the data, I don't shy away from trusting my designer's intuition; it's like the secret sauce in my creative recipe.
I thrive on adapting to new challenges; it's part of the fun of what I do. I’m built for remote work, but I'm still ready for meet-ups in person whenever needed. Collaboration is key in my book, especially when it involves exchanging perspectives with my team or helping younger designers grow. I see every piece of feedback as a chance to improve and every design decision as an opportunity to spark a meaningful conversation.
In short, I'm just passionate about making things work better and look good while doing it. Whether we're talking design, sharing knowledge, or just brainstorming the next big thing, I'm here for it. Let's create something awesome together!
Design has always been a part of my life. Rather than playing with dolls, I designed houses for them. When my 9-year-old sister appeared, I decided to create games for her and organize creative activities. Forget playing Pegasus (that old Nintendo Famicom clone) with the neighborhood kids; I was too busy modernizing Barbie's dream home and brainstorming the next big game.
Did I mention that I have two older sisters? Yes, there are four of us. So I spent a lot of time messing with their belongings. Anna studied architecture, while Monika focused on construction engineering. So you can imagine the treasure trove of drawing supplies I discovered: funky rulers, technical pens, compasses, and a bunch of other items whose names I did not know. Sure, we may have broken a few things along the way (oops!), but those experiences only fueled my desire to create. Now that I have graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, I am paid to do what I have always enjoyed: play and create. Childhood hobbies turn out to be great careers!

The North Star of my character
I highly value authenticity in life and work, as it fosters growth, builds genuine connections, and resonates with people.
Collaboration
More minds lead to better solutions. We cannot do everything on our own. Diverse perspectives in the workplace and in life foster creativity and result in richer outcomes. Other people's perspectives provide ideas we might overlook. Collaboration drives innovation and effectiveness.
Growth
Continuous development is a core value for me. With a love of learning and a talent for envisioning a better future, I am always looking for ways to improve myself personally and professionally. At work, I thrive in environments that encourage self-improvement and global project thinking, where we are constantly strategizing how to achieve our long-term goals.
Empathy
I believe that empathy is important in the workplace and in our interactions with users because it fosters psychological safety and allows us to better understand one another. When people feel understood and supported, they are more likely to collaborate effectively, perform well, and express their creativity.
Adaptability
The future isn't set in stone; it's shaped by the choices we make. While I do plan, adaptability enables me to respond quickly to changing circumstances. This value is especially crucial in both work and life, where plans can shift unexpectedly.
Lead Product Designer
I led IndieBI's rebranding initiative to increase company credibility while also developing a Design System to ensure a consistent product experience. Implementing a new onboarding process resulted in significantly higher user adoption rates. While developing the monetization strategy, we ensured a smooth transition from beta to production. I improved the app's user experience by continuously exploring user needs, while also encouraging collaboration among stakeholders to ensure efficient product delivery.
Senior Product Designer
I led the redesign of Omani telecom's enterprise web app and the development of a Design System for route optimization services. I also redesigned a website for a service design company and created an internal Design System for future projects. In my pre-sales efforts, I actively engaged with clients and prepared proposals. I also mentored and supported less experienced designers, promoting team growth.
Senior Product Designer
I created a sleep monitoring app to help slow the progression of dementia. I led the discovery phase for a mobile app aimed at reselling used items. In presale activities, I developed proposals, established objectives, and planned design processes. In addition, I facilitated kickoff meetings with clients to initiate projects and collect requirements, as well as conduct design workshops to ensure alignment and clarity.
Product Designer
I designed a mobile app specifically for police speeding tickets and provided comprehensive designs for a secondhand sales mobile app. In addition, I improved the functionality of a food and beverage POS system and designed a website for a financial company.
Product Desinger
I created a desktop application for managing unmanned marine vehicles, ensuring efficient operations at sea. In addition, I worked on applications for a variety of platforms, including mobile, embedded, desktop, and web. I analyzed requirements and strategized design processes to ensure that they were in line with project goals and user needs.
Product & Graphic Designer
In November of 2012, I was hired as a graphic designer for an interactive agency. One year later, I joined Open-RnD, a startup software company, where I created my first mobile app and learned about user experience.
