BIO
I am an UX Researcher and Engineer passionate about studying and reimagining how people interact with technology. I am especially passionate about developing systems across physical and digital environments that support behavioral change in health, sports, and social impact contexts.
I earned a BS from Northwestern University and an MS from Politecnico di Miliano. Alongside my studies, I represented Northwestern as a Division I and Polish National Team fencer. Competing internationally, I earned multiple distinctions such as Vice-World Championship, European Bronze Medal, several All-American honors, multiple medals at Polish Cups and Championships, and appearances in NCAA Championships.
Previously, I worked at BMW Open Innovation, where I investigated the potential integration of artificial intelligence into innovation processes. During my studies, I also contributed to industrial and interaction design projects, including lunar habitat concepts for the European Space Agency, toy design for Ferrero, repurposing a coffee machine into a household appliance for Braun, and developing a smart fencing glove for Spark Reply.
HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION AND DESIGN
Most of my recent projects are confidential, but through my work I have predominantly focused on building complex systems spanning both digital and physical environments
