I design financial products that businesses trust with their money. After 15+ years in design, I'm convinced that in finance, clarity is the product. I take new ideas from 0→1 and help them scale.

Adaś

I'm the founding designer of Avalara Capital, an embedded line of credit. Before that, my redesigns lifted payments adoption at Setmore by 65% and free-to-paid conversion at Ageras by about 10%.

My work spans UX, UI, interaction, visual and motion design, from first sketch to shipped product. I sweat the details that make moving money feel safe.

AI runs through my whole process. I use it to brainstorm and explore more directions early, then build prototypes in Claude Code that look and behave like the finished app.

Based in Gdańsk, Poland, working with teams worldwide.
