Garmin and Strava Know Everything About Me. And They Have Nothing to Say.
On two apps that hold my best training data - and still can't tell me what I should do tomorrow.
Shipping fast is a commodity.
Making it Credible, Safe & Human is operational craft under pressure.
15+ years experience · Enterprise systems · AI workflows · Production under constraints
I operate where AI velocity meets production accountability.
I bring structure, guardrails, and production-grade Design - in visuals, interactions,
and system behavior.
No noise. No theater. Only shipped systems.
Senior Product Designer - Enterprise Platforms / Trust & Safety
AI-augmented, production-first. I design systems people can trust under pressure.
> 15+ years shipping in production environments
> Design systems + governance (federation, tokens, contribution model)
> Complex workflows, observability, high-stakes UX
> AI UX with calibration gates (no confidence theater)

I write where design meets judgment.
Long-form notes on AI, product design, research, and the operating systems behind better decisions.
RSS / SERVER CACHED
Speed is solved.
Judgment isn't.
AI made generation trivial. It did not make judgment scalable. At speed, failure moves to calibration, consent, reliability and system integrity. I optimize for decision quality, not output volume.

What I design for(when it matters)
01 / Credible by default
Users shouldn’t have to "believe" your product. I design experiences that explain themselves through clear intent, predictable behavior, and honest feedback loops.
02 / Safe under pressure
Most failures are not edge cases - they’re unhandled normal cases. I design guardrails and recovery paths that stay functional when the model or the data fails.
03 / Human at scale
AI can generate output, but it can also generate friction. I design for comprehension and control, ensuring accessibility is treated as reliability, not a checkbox.
Systems shipped under constraints
Each mission below was delivered under real-world constraints - with real stakeholders, real deadlines, and zero room for aesthetic-only design.
No mockup theater. No comfortable briefs. Only work that had to hold up.
6 enterprise environments
100+ production screens
12 shipped deliverables
0 aesthetic-only work
i-Rays: Enterprise Observability
Shipped a full enterprise marketing system for a product with zero UI screens.
When the product exists only as a concept, you don't design interfaces - you build credibility. Full product website and marketing system for IBM i Admins: the most skeptical enterprise persona in the room.
Governing Design at Scale
5+ products in one ecosystem. One core design system. Fundamentally different cognitive contracts. Configuration UIs and high-speed operational dashboards sharing identical components wasn't consistency - it was structural debt accumulating one exception at a time.
I was given a straightforward task: move cross-panel patterns to documentation. I came back with a diagnosis and a governance architecture proposal.
What operators on the ground say
"Michal is easily one of the best, most well-rounded UX professionals I've worked with. He has the experience needed to partner with product owners and lead product teams toward a well-defined, user-focused vision. He is a natural leader who can mentor designers and help them grow their careers. And he can roll up his sleeves when it's time to conduct usability tests, produce wireframes for discussion with the team, or work with developers to get great design into production."
"Michał is one of those designers that goes above and beyond. Combines deep design craft with research rigor. Engineering-ready outcomes."
"Pragmatic. Engineering-ready. No fluff."
We don’t need more designers. We need better operators.
Operator - makes trade-offs explicit, decides what not to build, and ships safely under constraints.
I function as a specialized unit: Senior Strategy driven by AI Velocity.
I replace the friction of a traditional team with the focus of a single lead.
Strategy
I design the logic before I design the interface. My role is to ensure that speed doesn't compromise safety.

Tactical Execution
Hands-on craft. No delegation of the critical layer. I deliver production-ready assets, not just concepts.
