about me

tomasz zastawny

senior product designer

12 years in design, the last 7 of them in fintech, working across UX, UI, and systems. The work has spanned institutional infrastructure, retail trading, and emerging-market consumer products. Mostly inside the kind of domain where the rules matter and small UI decisions carry real weight.

what i do

I'm at my best when the problem is genuinely complex. Regulated workflows, dense data, expert users with no patience for friction, and the job is to make all of it feel obvious.

A lot of my work has been on the institutional side of fintech: trading infrastructure, fund servicing, the screens that don't show up in marketing decks but quietly carry a lot of money.

I work close to engineering. I'd rather sit in backlog grooming, pair with engineers on edge cases, and ship something concrete than hand off a Figma file and walk away. The craft I care about isn't the pixel-perfect mockup. It's the version that survives contact with constraints and still feels considered.
