Michal Filip · Product & UX designer
Product & UX designer helping complex, multi-platform products.
I’m Michal, a senior product & UX designer who likes messy problems: multi-platform flows, browser extensions and design systems – from early experiments to shipping real iOS, Android, web and extension experiences.

Working with engineers
I have had difficulty finding designers who truly listen to my needs and vision in the past, but Michal was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to communicate with and completely understood my goals for the project. The result was a beautiful website that exceeded my expectations.
Michal is what I'd call a ‘Technical Designer’ – while I typically think of designers as ‘living in Figma’, Michal operates with a much broader and more impressive range and skillset.
Michal has single-handedly delivered multiple sweeping changes to the Basket website in Webflow over the last couple of years, and has created sophisticated email marketing and in-app experiences in Braze CRM using advanced HTML and CSS - delivering solutions that would have been completely out of reach using the platform's standard drag-and-drop capabilities.
What really sets Michal apart is that he's a genuine creative product thinker who understands commercial outcomes, not just design aesthetics.
I highly recommend working with Michal. He is an exceptional individual with a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and dedication. His skills in problem-solving and innovation make him a valuable asset to any project that requires a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking.

What kind of projects are a good fit?
I've worked with established brands and early-state startups. The best fit is early-stage or post-MVP products that need someone to own UX and UI across platforms.
Do you only work remotely?
Mostly, yes. I’m open to occasional travel, if needed.
Do you code?
I use code to prototype and make websites. I'm not a full-stack developer but I use code as a tool for easier handoffs.
How soon can you start?
Usually withing 2-4 weeks. All depends on current projects and scope.
