Hey fellow humans,
I’m Łukasz Zygiel and I’ve been building, growing and optimizing digital products for almost 10 years.
Eighteen years in design, plus journalism, NGO work, music production and teaching. Distributed by default since 2018. On WordPress for fifteen.
Right now I’m designing a B2B leasing platform for a financial-services client at Netguru. Before that: seven months leading research and design on Merck Group’s decarbonization platform, two and a half years embedded with UBS’s Green POD on a renovation calculator and four years on biotcloud – a smart-city IoT platform now running 540,000+ devices across 78 locations in 12 countries.
