About Me
I’m Joanna Kowalska, a Product Designer based in the SF Bay Area with 2+ years of design experience in edtech, fintech, and retail, supported by 6 years of foundational architecture and fine arts expertise.
I specialize in data visualization and design systems, transforming complex concepts into seamless, intuitive user experiences.
At iSolvRisk, I led a team of 9, developing a design system that streamlined processes and accelerated project delivery. My approach blends logic with artistry, resulting in highly functional and visually compelling solutions.
When I’m not designing, I'm painting canvases, experimenting with new recipes, hiking scenic trails, or indulging in an unreasonable amount of tea.
