Jagoda Gniadek

Designing 👩‍🎨 and building 👩‍💻 successful products for 6 years now, combining UX, UI, and front-end development to create solutions that make people happy. And when users are happy, that's good for business, too.

I’m Jagoda, a Design Engineer based in Lisbon / London. Why ‘Design Engineer’? I’m passionate about designing products as much as building them, and I can’t let go of either. I found my place in a role that bridges product and development, translating between teams and working alongside both to create the best results.
