My full name is Maria, but everyone calls me ✨Masha ✨
Who am I
A passionate product designer based in Kraków
I LOVE designing digital experiences that not only look great, but actually solve real problems and make life easier — for users and for the teams building them. For me, great design is where empathy meets clarity: understanding what people need, what the business is aiming for, and how technology fits into the picture. I love digging into complex challenges, mapping out messy flows, and turning them into clean, intuitive journeys that just make sense. Edge cases, tricky constraints, last-minute changes — bring them on 👀
I’m also a big fan of collaboration, open communication, and sharing what I’ve learned — whether it’s through mentoring or just nerding out over a great design critique.
My background
Design is a journey, not a destination
Yep, that’s me ☝🏻. In the zone.
Currently from 2022
Senior Designer at EPAM Systems
For the past 3 years, I’ve been deeply involved in shaping the design at EPAM Systems. I’ve worked closely with both B2B and B2C audiences, balancing different needs and goals to create smooth, engaging learning experiences.
From 2021 to 2022
Product Designer at YourCoach.health
I worked at YourCoach platform, a practice management platform for health & wellness coaches to centralize and streamline the coaching experience on B2B audiences in the health space.
From 2019 to 2021
Freelance designer
For 2 years, I worked as a freelance product designer, leading projects from start to finish across education, e-commerce, tech, and wellness. I handled everything — from understanding client needs and aligning goals to delivering polished design solutions. I created wireframes, prototypes, UX microcopy, and marketing materials, while teaming up closely with developers and QA to bring products to life. Taking full ownership of the design process, I also ran post-launch reviews to make sure everything worked smoothly and met user needs.

Elegant and effective designs I’ve created for business
New horizons
Developing XR Expertise
Since 2022, I’ve been working on developing and promoting AI and VR solutions as an extra activity. I regularly connect with key client representatives to understand their needs and showcase our innovations.
My philosophy
What makes me stand apart?
Partner in crime
A strategic ally you can always rely on
Team player
I can get along with bigand small teams
Learner
Constant learning to become a better human
Aside from design
I enjoy different things in life
I find inspiration in the little things around me and love learning about the world through my travels — every new city or culture adds a fresh spark to how I see things.
At home, my dog Picard and cat Bart are my daily dose of joy and comfort. They keep life fun and remind me to slow down and enjoy the moment.
One of my biggest passions is building with LEGO — it’s more than just a hobby, it’s a creative outlet and a source of endless joy. I have 17 sets that I’ve collected and built over time, and I love how each build challenges me to think differently and get hands-on with imagination. It’s the perfect mix of focus and play, and often sparks new ideas for my design work.
