Hello, my name is Jo!

I am from Romania, based in Poland.

"I had the pleasure of working with Jo on an advanced agentic chat app where she led the development of a custom design system. Though primarily an Experience Designer, Jo naturally took on coordination responsibilities and helped guide the team's work effectively. Her clear communication and ability to translate complex AI interactions into intuitive interfaces kept everything moving smoothly. A real team player! – Jakub
