Aga Kijek Portfolio

My main focus now is living life fully - whether through physical activity, trying a new dish, seeing great art, listening to music, or just being out in nature. I love being moved.

My appreciation for beauty and simplicity means I can't help but ask: "How can this experience be even better?" Design is simply the process of finding the answer to that.

My career has been a journey from hands-on design to shaping the teams and design strategies behind the products. As a manager at Docplanner, I guided a team of designers in solving complex challenges for millions of patients and thousands of doctors - while also remaining a hands-on contributor on key strategic projects.
