What I do
The digital space is always changing, and we need to change with it. Things are going faster than ever, and with every new technology, you need a partner who understands the market and evolves with it to bring fresh ideas and solutions that help your brand push for the next level.
How I work
Often times, things begin with an idea or a client/customer need, depending on the problem that needs to be solved. I start by putting my thoughts on paper, then move on to whiteboarding and outlining the solution before designing it.
This is a simple yet effective process that covers everything from strategy to delivery, including all the steps in between.
Things I use
— Pen + Paper for ideation
— Customer or user research and mapping stuff
— Creating collaboration space in white-boarding tool (FigJam)
— Wireframes, prototype and design is happing in Figma
— For website creation Webflow is my choice
— Working closely with Developers and collaborate on final delivery with them
Product Design — together with human-centred design, delivering practical and inspiring designs that meet customer needs and enhance everyday experiences. With technical expertise and creative approach, I can help you create a new product or refine an existing product.
Website Design — is helping brands engage with users and stay relevant through immersive experience. With a focus on purposeful design, I create engaging experiences that make the most of devices and screens.
Webflow — is a modern website builder that is user-friendly and customizable. Customizing your website can be a daunting task, with changes taking forever, plugins failing, and difficulty in comprehension. Why not try Webflow?
Design systems — are essential for creating a brand that can grow limitlessly while maintaining its unique identity. I specialize in building digital-first, interactive, and scalable design systems to ensure consistent brand identity across all platforms.
Web3 — incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics. The web is constantly evolving, and we need to be ready for what's next. User experience will be more important than ever before.
Mixed Reality (MR) — combines real-world and computer-generated environments. Physical and virtual objects can interact in real-time. As new devices emerge, it's important to be ready for the rise of mixed reality technology.
Testimonials
Find out what my clients have to say about me.
Michal is a terrific designer/dev combo. He works hard and fast, is perhaps the most communicative external team member I've ever worked with, and was a huge help when needs and challenges arose unexpectedly.
A great choice for any UX/UI needs.
— Graydon Gordian
Head Of Marketing at Fractal Software
Not only did Michal build a beautiful and effective website for my company, but he did it in a fraction of the time (and at a fraction of the cost) of other web developers/designers.
Perhaps most importantly, however, Michal provided us with a site that is very easy to edit, tweak or redesign as our company grows, as our product changes, etc. (we can make these changes ourselves).
I would strongly recommend Michal to anyone looking to build an effective and dynamic web presence.
— Ben Bellamy
Founder and CEO at Chi Studios
Michal was a great design partner in the team. I hired and worked with Michal at Namecheap Cloud Design team for over a year. We collaborated on the product design of EasyWP and overall team processes. I always valued the pragmatism he brought to the work.
He keeps things simple, organized and clear. As I changed company, I trusted Michal to take the lead of the Cloud Design team and right away he showed great skill in building relationships across the company, caring for the people in the team and advocating for a customer focused product.
— Igor Pascoal

Michal brings a thoughtful approach to design, he takes the time to understand your thinking on design, the borders of it and where you want it to go.
