Hello world,
I'm Filip
I'm fascinated by what goes on in people's heads. During my master's in psychology, I took part in academic research — including experimental studies of canine empathy and comparative eye-tracking studies of how humans perceive different animal species.
I moved into UX because breaking down complex problems and finding solutions has always come naturally to me.
Most recently, I worked as a UX specialist at Siepomaga, where I combined research and design — running end-to-end research projects and designing user journeys for the platform's donors and beneficiaries.
Before that, I was a UX researcher at Mobee Dick, where I planned and conducted various studies for clients like BNP Paribas, UNIQA, AvaFin, Pracuj.pl and mAuto. I started my UX career as a designer at the e-marketplace ERLI.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you choose the best research method to inform your decisions?
Choosing the right research method depends on various factors. If I want to find answers to the questions starting with What, Where, or When, I turn myself towards quantitative research methods. Questions that start with Why direct me towards my qualitative toolkit. After I figure out the method type, I narrow down my choices according to various factors that include budget, time frame, and stage of the process.
What is your research process?
As with everything in the UX field, it depends. The research process that I'm trying to follow while tackling the problem space contains:
- Getting into the research problem space by asking tonnes of questions.
- Determining the objectives of the research, people's needs, and possible results.
- Planning the study: selecting a research methodology, determining time duration, choosing the user group, recruiting, and fulfilling logistic necessities.
- Conducting study activities depends on the selected method.
- Performing data analysis and synthesis.
- Documenting and presenting results.
- Researching new unknowns.
How do you continue your professional development?
I'm a big fan of the websites dedicated to UX research. I read articles provided by NNGs, User Interviews, UX Collective, and others. Additionally, I listen to podcasts, e.g. Awkward Silence and Mixed Methods.
What is your favourite app? Why?
Spotify. While listening to music, I tend to stick to the pieces I'm familiar with; therefore, I often end up listening to the same songs endlessly. With Spotify, I'm often exposed to pieces that I'm not explicitly familiar with but that seem to suit my taste in music. This simple functionality (proposing pieces) allows me to discover new musical universes. Moreover, the application is clear, fast, and easy to switch between devices.
