Hey, I'm Karol. A Product Designer based in Germany, bridging the gap between user needs and business value.
I'm all about functionality over fancy looks because, let's be real, stuff that works beats stuff that just looks cool.

Experience
Most recent first
Personio
2023 — present
At Personio, I’m part of the Workflow Automation team, where I helped launch the Workflow Builder to general availability and now focus on evolving it to drive growth and differentiation. I also lead design for Employment Changes, one of our most strategic company initiatives, setting the vision, strategy, and direction. Beyond product work, I collaborate closely with senior leadership and design peers to connect automation to the bigger picture — across our product, business goals, and customers’ day-to-day work.
Shopify
2021 — 2023
At Shopify, I was part of the Growth organization, designing experiences that helped merchants start, stay, and scale their businesses. I worked across acquisition, retention, and monetization, setting UX visions for Retention and Upsells, and redesigning the subscription checkout — a project that increased conversion rates and added $17M in gross profit in its first iteration. I also built design systems for the sign-up flow to speed up experimentation and mentored designers within the team. Working in Growth was hands down one of my most rewarding experiences — fast-paced, data-driven, and focused on real impact.
Wunder Mobility
2018 — 2021
I joined Fleetbird as the first designer and sixth employee, helping the company find product-market fit and scale the customer base by 10× to six million shared rides annually. After our acquisition by Wunder Mobility, I worked with leadership to build a design team from the ground up — establishing processes, a design system, and a culture of craft and collaboration. It was a rare opportunity to grow with a product from early startup to acquisition and beyond.
