I bring order to

Reducing chaos and accelerating product delivery through design partnership and governance.

UX cleanup for scaling products

AI acceleration for quicker delivery

Make ideas testable

Hello, it’s Michael

I help founders move from idea to working product fast. Ideas deserve to be tested early, and teams work better when complexity is structured instead of improvised.

I build digital products using AI and design expertise. My approach combines speed with order, turning early concepts into functional experiences that teams can evaluate and iterate on quickly.

I deliver clearer decisions, predictable handoffs and product workflows that help founders validate direction before committing to full development.

Projects

Does this sound familiar?

Patterns I often see before teams ask for outside clarity.

Validation bottleneck

Concepts grow into long and risky commitments before the first user tests.

Decision drift

Priorities shift, scope grows and alignment slowly fades as more voices enter the process.

Design debt

Inconsistent components and patterns cost time, quality and confidence.

Edge-case hell

Scenarios don’t fully connect, edge cases pile up and changes become risky.

Blurred ownership

Ownership blurs, files drift and collaboration becomes harder than it should be.

Ways I can help

Clear, product-focused services designed for fast validation and predictable delivery.

Product Audit

Crack the flows, point the fix

I review your product and Figma files through the lens of a senior product designer with an AI-first perspective.

PoC Sprint

Testable demos in days

I listen to your idea, take your concept through my process, and in days deliver a hosted, working product demo to validate before you invest months of engineering.

DS Foundation

Design system humans and AI can use

I build design system foundations grounded in proven open-source libraries, extended and shaped by your real user flows.

What my partners appreciate

Michael is a very organized and detail driven person commited to high standards. During our cooperation he focused very much on the simplification of the UIs we and our customers were proposing, which lead to software products which are easy to understand by the target group. As soon as we will need a UX/UI designer again, Michael will be my first choice.

Michael was getting on with the team and the client. He addressed clients' needs, advised on the tool to be used, and advised alternative solutions for each request. He is a nice and smart designer. We enjoyed working with Michael and we will reach out to him when new projects come on board.

I can only say nice things about working with Michał. He has brilliant ideas, and he is always very dedicated to what he is doing. We were able to make together some pretty cool stuff. I highly recommend Michał as a UX/UI and brand designer.

Michal and me worked together at a daily base to help to create a design sytem in figma. (...) I'm very sure that we would never had reached the current high level of expertise in UI/UX without his outstanding and accurate help. So yes, this is your man if you need a reliable and good ui/ux designer!

Michal is best UI/UX designer who I have been worked with. Always ready to help, nice and friendly. All designs were good documented, so I could say that they were self explanatory. It was pleasure to work with him and implement software based on his work. I really recommend Michal as designer.
