Hi Nina, tell us a bit about yourself
Hi, Nina here! I was born in Poland and this year I’m celebrating twenty years in Sweden. With a passion for the golden trio—technology, design, and human behaviour—and a drive to make a difference and help people in both big and small ways, it was clear that I was destined to become a UX designer. What I’m especially passionate about is accessibility—creating products that everyone, regardless of ability, can use. Outside of work, I lift heavy weights at the gym, watch thrillers on the couch, explore new restaurants, and dive into music with a sad minor key.
What got you interested in Esatto?
By chance, I ended up at a UX breakfast here shortly before I started, where I was inspired by the people, the culture, and, not least, the beautiful offices. What tipped the scales was that you work exclusively with digital projects, have a strong drive for accessibility, and also have an office in Poland. Reading your UX job description was like reading about myself to a T. I’m excited to use the Polish language and my deep understanding of Polish culture to make our collaborations between offices even better!
Which digital service would you like to redesign?
There’s so much I’d like to improve in this world. If I have to stick to a digital service I’ve struggled with for years, I’d have to say Microsoft Word. The most basic tasks that you’d think the program is built for are completely baffling. It’s not reasonable to have to google in vain and watch a half-hour tutorial every single time you need to add page numbers. We need a UX designer here, please!
Is there any analogue service you'd like to redesign?
At my SATS gym, there are turnstiles consisting of three metal posts or a rotating gate. To get through, you need to scan your membership card on the side, push your body forward through the gate, and juggle your heavy bags at the same time. This often results in awkward positions with a high risk of injury. And as for accessibility, let’s not even go there. I would definitely love to redesign this.
What are you most looking forward to doing at Esatto?
I’m looking forward to creating intuitive and accessible digital services, driving work processes forward, and bringing new and positive energy. And of course, changing the world.
And if we were to end this interview with karaoke, which song would you choose?
After a valiant attempt to sing *Hey Ya* by Outkast (which turned out to be much more frantic than I imagined), I’d go with a safe bet Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65.
