Together is more than the sum of its parts

You can surround yourself with talented and skilled people, but without trust and authenticity, a team becomes just a collection of specialists. UX reminds me every day that the real strength lies in what we create together.

I’m not afraid to ask questions — even uncomfortable ones — because I know that without them, there is no real growth. I connect data with intuition, often leading me to insights that raw numbers alone cannot provide. The ability to blend analytical thinking with empathy is one of my most valuable traits.

In relationships, I bring attentiveness. I notice small things that others might overlook, but that build the sense of being seen and understood. My words can be both a place of rest and a spark for action.

I carry courage within me — even when I don’t feel it. Courage to make tough decisions, to say “no” when necessary, and to be myself even if it means not everyone will understand. While I’m highly independent, I also know the value of being part of something bigger — a team, a project, a relationship. What I bring isn’t just the completion of a task but a sense of meaning and soul.

I am always in motion, always searching. And even though searching can be tiring, it is my greatest strength. It pushes me forward, keeps me moving, and makes me want to know, understand, feel, and create more.

When designing for people, independence matters, but it’s not enough. Collaboration is the foundation. It’s more than dividing tasks — it’s listening and understanding that each perspective can change the entire project for the better.

I value moments when you need to step back to see the whole picture. And those when you lean in to notice details that seem small but carry enormous meaning. I love when ideas meet at the table and start to take on a life of their own.

Being part of a team also means being authentic. You can learn perfect responses, wear professional masks, and use flawless words — but none of that replaces sincerity.

People sense when something is genuine and when it’s just an act. At work, just like in life, I prefer openness — even if it means showing my weaker sides. That’s the only way trust can exist. Without trust, collaboration is only an illusion.

Working together also means trust that someone will pick up the thread I’ve started and carry it forward. Trust that if I don’t know something, I can ask — and if I do know, I can share. In a good team, there’s no “mine” or “yours.” There’s shared responsibility and shared outcomes.

UX teaches humility. I can know processes, tools, and methods, and still never hold the full answer on my own. I need conversations, exchanges, variables, analytics, and even constructive disagreements. Sometimes discussions are long and draining — but it’s there that the best solutions are born.

In UX, we rarely work in a vacuum. Every project is the result of many roles, skills, and perspectives.

One example is G2A Plus, a concept created by the business team. At the execution stage, I worked as a UX designer on interface and user experience elements. Later, marketing scaled the project and told its story through a campaign. The result was a cohesive ecosystem — from product solutions to video messaging — where my work is also visible.

Seeing G2A Plus go from design concepts to a campaign with Robert Lewandowski is a proud moment. Every detail — from benefits to interface — is built for smarter choices, better prices, and more value. 🔐💸

Maybe that’s why I believe so strongly that in projects, we have to stay human. With empathy, curiosity, and the will to understand others — no matter what role we play.

In the end, when I look at the outcome, I feel this one simple truth: I was part of something bigger than myself. And that feeling alone makes it all worth it.
