Hi, I'm Justyna
Twelve years in design — not just interfaces, but the systems and language underneath them.
I started in editorial design before moving to product. That range still defines how I work: type first, grids tight, detail obsessive. These days I'm just as likely to be in GitHub, Claude Code as in Figma — evolving design systems into machine-readable infrastructure and shipping working AI agents.
I think in systems: token hierarchies, governance models, contribution workflows. But the craft instinct never left — I still care how things look and feel, not just how they're structured.
Previously at independent studios; currently designing systems at SmartBear, working across design systems, AI tooling, and engineering infrastructure.
Justyna's creative talent made her a real enrichment to the team. She consistently hit the sweet spot between creativity and strategy — and made clients and the team very happy.

Justyna captured the essence of our goals and the problems we aimed to solve. She's not afraid to give constructive feedback and is equally open to receiving it. Her communication with developers kept the whole team aligned.
Knowledge Systems Architect, AI & Enterprise Platforms
Justyna shapes the Design Kit through a research-led practice — combining analytics, interviews, surveys, and systems thinking to understand how it's actually used. The result is a kit grounded in evidence, prioritized by real user needs. Mature, data-informed design practice that builds long-term value.
