Travelbay is a Polish web app that makes planning a trip easy. I founded and bootstrapped this project in 2019. Initially, it was a side project that I was developing after working hours. In 2022 it reached 1.8M unique users only in Poland (5M uu since 2019).
How can a side project become one of the largest travel websites in a country like Poland? Well, I am an experienced traveler, so I was curing my own pain points while establishing this venture. It was a great battlefield for me, the best opportunity to learn new skills, make hypothesis, validate them, iterate, and try over and over again.

Sinergia is a web app created to backup files. I was hired to design a dashboard with data visualization and multiple charts. The most challenging part of the project was translating really complex data into visual charts. I used scatter charts, bubble charts, column overlap chart, histogram chart, bell curve, and classic line chart.
Evently was one of the largest Event planning websites in New York City. The project was initially designed in 2015, then refreshed in 2017, and again in 2023. Every stage of the redesign was built in different software (Photoshop, Sketch, and Figma).
With the latest design, I wanted to use the entire space on large desktops. Minimal design with bold typography and a lot of white space was the key. I did not want to distract users from vibrant images and make them feel hungry.
