Where am I from?

I was born in Poland, which is why I usually go by Ola (*it's short for Aleksandra in Polish). Most of my childhood was spent in Boston, but I moved out to Stockholm, Sweden for university. Now, having finally accepted my identity as a Warm Weather Person, I'm soaking up the sun in Miami. 

 

I love living and working in a variety of places because I see firsthand the influence culture has on us as individuals; I'm consistently challenged to reevaluate my cultural patterns and attitudes, both at a personal level and within my designs.

What do I get up to?

Being semi-new to Miami, one of my favorite hobbies is continuing to explore the city, especially its art community; it's inspired me to return to my own artistic roots, so I try to paint regularly and share my work. I'm also learning Spanish on the side, but please don't ask me to speak it yet (or maybe do, I need the practice).

What am I listening to?

Iconic look in Singapore - unfortunately, I will never be this cool again.

Hey! You can call me Ola*. These are my 3 pillars of design:

Keep it simple

Making designs so straightforward that even I can understand them.

Share stories

The core of UX is storytelling between user and designer.

Everyone is a designer

Staying collaborative and open to contributing voices.
