Hi, I'm Jakub and it's lovely to meet you...

The origins

I'm originally from Southern Poland. I grew up in Katowice and left home in 2012. I moved to Denmark where I first learned about design and tried my luck with multimedia design. I quickly started to love it. Photoshop and Illustrator became my best friends, but overtime it just wasn't enough. Throughout my bachelor's degree I learned about user experience and I knew that this was it. I continued following that route with various internships and a masters degree at De Montfort University. 

Why design?

One of the projects I completed as part of a product design module was called 'Make world a better place' and I quickly realised that this is something that drives me. In my opinion, Product Design at its core is to help people and address their problems.

What I'm up to?

Staying curious is in my nature, I tend to have many interests at a single time, which sometimes can drive people crazy. There are However there are some hobbies and interests that have stayed for me over the years, some of them are - Gaming, F1, Sports, Boxing and my cat Kimchi.
