Katarzyna Stawarz’s Summary
I do a lot of stuff: from playing with numbers and research to translations and editing. The more, the merrier!
I've been involved in research-related activities for few years now and eventually shifted to user testing and usability assessments – topics I'm really passionate about. Unfortunately those still account for only a small portion of my duties, but hey, I have to start somewhere, right? :)
