Aga Kijek
I'm a Senior Product Designer based in Warsaw. I spent 7 years at Docplanner, the healthtech marketplace and SaaS operating in 13 markets, growing from Product Designer to Product Design Manager with a team of 6 designers. Today I work hands-on as an individual contributor.
My design approach is grounded in systems thinking and genuine care. I believe the best solutions come from a mix of common sense, educated intuition, craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the people and businesses you're designing for.
Product Delivery
Took over a B2B SaaS project stalled for over a year and shipped it in 4 months with a cross-functional team of ~15.
Impact
Shaped a scalable design vision that cut design debt by 83% on Docplanner's marketplace (2,534 → 438 points).
AI-native Design
I direct coding agents to build what I design, keeping quality in check with decision records and automated tests.
Toolkit
0 → 1 Innovation
Led design and research in Docplanner's New Ventures unit: 10 healthtech concepts explored, 2 reached revenue and were integrated into the core product.
Collaboration
Introduced the product-trio model (design, product, engineering) and connected engineers directly with end users.
Talent Development
Managed and mentored 6 designers across product areas; one promoted to senior.
