Mirek Kolaja - UX/UI Designer

I design digital experiences that flow naturally and leave a lasting impact.

With 3 years in UX/UI design across B2B software, digital products, and agency work, I create interfaces that balance clarity, usability, and modern craft -> turning insights into meaningful product experiences.

How I Approach Design

I believe digital experiences should be crafted, not produced.

My approach unites visual precision, product logic, and brand storytelling into interfaces that feel deliberate, modern, and cohesive. When design carries intention, every pixel has a reason, and every interaction becomes an experience.
