Gosia Tekieniewska

I'm a versatile designer based in Poznan, Poland, with 8+ years of graphic design experience and a recent focus on UI/UX. Alongside my full-time roles, I’ve freelanced on projects like theatre scenography, children's books, and album covers, building strong client relationships.

With a background in fine arts, illustration, and a love for math and logic, I balance aesthetics with functionality. As the sole designer for Polish and Scottish alcohol brands, I managed everything from branding to packaging.

Now, I’m transitioning to UI/UX, where I apply not only my creative and analytical skills but also my deep curiosity about people—what they think, feel, and need.

passion for design

I believe design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about improving lives.

My goal is to merge my artistic and problem — solving skills to design solutions that make a difference for people.
