All about me and a little bit about my dog, Moo Moo.
I grew up on a farm in Poland surrounded by chickens, cows, and barn cats. When I was 6 years old, I moved to Chicago with my parents. And here's my story.
I grew up on a farm in Poland surrounded by chickens, cows, and barn cats. When I was 6 years old, I moved to Chicago with my parents. And here's my story.
My journey from a farmland to the big city taught me how to adapt quickly and always with an eager, positive attitude. I have adapted to a variety of different roles during my professional journey.
Before becoming a User Experience Consultant, I studied Intercultural Communications and Studio Art at DePaul University. I have always enjoyed studying the different ways in which people communicate and shape their identity -- specifically within an increasingly digital world.
Currently I am focused on exploring cross-cultural User Experience Design. Since most digital products are consumer-oriented, it is important to understand and empathize with the intersectional layers of a user's identity. Aside from my typical 9 to 5 (*queue Dolly Parton*), I independently strive to connect with small business owners and help them transform their business ideas digitally to truly connect with their target audiences.
Outside of work, you can find me taking longs walks on the beach with my rescued Pitbull pup named Moo Moo. With her fuzzy white fur, giant black spots, soft pink ears and gentle personality -- she reminds me of the cows my family had back on our little farm in Poland. More importantly, Moo Moo alerts me when I’ve been staring at the computer screen for too long. She’s taught me that quick breaks within nature are crucial for mental health and focus! You should try it sometime.
