Wojciech Popiel. Product Designer. Vinted
Hey, I’m Wojciech, I’m a product designer, currently working at Vinted. I solve users’ problems by applying design thinking and cross-functional collaboration.

After getting acquainted with graphic design, and having experienced the adventures of large and small creative works, today I dive even deeper into the design. I am going deep into the science of user experience, user-centred design, web design and usability testing.

My secret is simple – I believe that good design is not just about beauty. It also has to be functional and help brands by hitting directly at the heart rather than in the brain.
