My Philosophy

Tenacity

The only way to loose is to give up. When you feel pressure, this is the time to step back and go inward. Ask questions, gain understanding.

Growth

In any situation, assume there is something you do not know and set your goal at figuring it out, leaning into it and growing. This will expand your knowledge and your empathy.

Flexibility

There is not a single way to solve a problem. Structures are great, they provide us anchors, but without adaptability they are crutches.

See it in practice. ⮕

Thank you for your leadership.

Her advice helped me build better relationships. Ewa is always available to lend a listening ear, a helping hand and advice. She always responds in time and gets back with answers and solutions to my questions. Her vast UX knowledge is impressive and I know I can rely on her for any professional and procedural help. It has been excellent having her as my coach.
