Hi there!
I'm Katarzyna,
a versatile web designer
& front-end developer
As a highly curious person who lives to learn, I'm dedicated to finding the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. I've got a keen interest in cognitive psychology that informs my design choices and continuous self-improvement.
Education
2013-2017 -- BE in Nanotechnology -- Gdańsk University of Technology
2017-2020 -- BA in Graphic Design -- University of the Arts Poznań
What has always fascinated me is the underlying essence of reality, design and human behavior. That is my favorite part of web development - applying this understanding to the creation of products that help businesses grow, educate and connect people.
Experience
Since 2019 -- Project Manager -- Violet-Arch Architecture Firm
I have created a custom-scripted Google Sheets logging system to keep track of the status of each task, which has shortened project completion by 50% and improved employee accountability.
My responsibilities have included coordination and division of work between architects and contractors across 20+ ongoing projects, as well as preparing and applying for documents required by local law. I have always ensured timely delivery and high quality of documentation.

final project on cognitive biases
Video mockup of an interactive educational website utilising interactive visual communication as an effective learning tool - final project in Graphic Design.
The ThoughtLab's main objective is to educate on specific topics in cognitive psychology and related philosophical issues. These topics include intellectual virtues such as imagination, intellectual modesty, curiosity and many more.
The website targets individuals of any age group, except for children, and aims to reach the widest possible audience, irrespective of their background, culture, or personal differences. It is tailored to individuals who possess the ability for self-criticism and have a desire for self-education and self-improvement.
ThoughtLab's content aims to communicate with viewers primarily through interactive visual means, appealing to their subconscious mind. The textual elements serve as supplementary means for engaging the conscious level of cognition.
