01 — About

I make things that people noticeand then trust.

I was trained as a graphic designer in Warsaw and spent six years inside the gaming industry as a QA tester — at GOG.com, the storefront behind some of PC gaming's most beloved releases, then at Lionbridge and QLOC on AAA action games, VR titles, multiplayer sandboxes and indie visual novels.

The two halves talk to each other. Design taught me to make choices that read at a glance. QA taught me that nothing ships without being seen from every angle — by users, by reviewers, by the producer with the launch date on their calendar. I bring both habits to every page, panel, and pixel.

I moved to Norway in 2023, passed Norskprøven at B2 in 2025, and now live in Kongsvinger. I'm open to design, illustration and QA roles — on-site in the Innlandet / Oslo region, or remote anywhere.
