I had the pleasure of working with Kasia when she joined the Market Insights team as our first full-time designer and what a game changer that was. Coming from the retail teams into the ACIL (B2B) domain, which was new for her and heavily focused on dealer solutions, Kasia stepped in seamlessly. She quickly took ownership of research and design across several key initiatives, including projects that required rapid turnaround. Her ability to deliver high-quality outcomes under pressure was impressive and inspiring. Beyond her design expertise, Kasia contributed far outside her core role. She streamlined agile ceremonies, introduced new tools to improve collaboration, and even facilitated a workshop that helped the team define what “good” looks like across roles. These initiatives brought clarity, structure, and lifted the performance of the whole group. Kasia is proactive, collaborative, and consistently brings out the best in those around her. I would highly recommend her to any team looking for not just a talented designer, but someone who elevates the culture and performance of everyone she works with.

It’s been amazing to see Kasia blossom into a highly accomplished product designer. She has played an integral role in key initiatives at Carsales, driving high-impact improvements for both the business and its customers. Kasia’s talent for leading interviews and usability testing is unmatched—she makes participants feel at ease while uncovering valuable insights. Her ability to synthesise findings, identify patterns and behaviours, and craft actionable recommendations has consistently refreshed product designs and elevated user experiences. Kasia’s growth, confidence, and expertise make her an invaluable asset to any team. I highly recommend her for any product designer role.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Kasia for three years, during which we have collaborated on multiple projects. She has consistently demonstrated her expertise in conducting thorough testing sessions with customers to evaluate the viability and usability of her designs. Her keen observation, analytical skills, and ability to apply data-driven insights have allowed her to iterate and build on her work continuously. Kasia excels at balancing the big picture with attention to detail, and pursuing excellence in design regardless of the project’s size or scope. One of her most notable achievements was leading a significant design project that enabled customers to use the company’s AI for personalised recommendations. Throughout this project, she worked extremely hard with all stakeholders, overseeing frontend and backend developers to integrate her design and ultimately achieving remarkable click-through rates. In addition, Kasia has contributed to a large design project by providing UX writing. Her love for language and attention to word choice have helped create clarity and ensured that messaging resonated with customers.

Kasia reached out for a coffee catch-up within the first few weeks of my joining carsales.com.au. Even then, I was blown away by her passion for continuous learning and drive for self-improvement. Since then, she transitioned from the accounts team into a product design role, flourishing from strength to strength. I have worked with her closely on numerous research projects where she has been eager to develop her design research skills and learn new methodologies. She has successfully planned and executed her own research projects, habitually interrogating insights and data to produce actionable outcomes. Kasia approaches every project with a considered balance of curiosity, an open mindset, and logical thinking, resulting in her creating practical solutions that solve both business and customer needs.

Kasia has consistently demonstrated her ability to tackle and approach complex problems with a fresh perspective to a high level. She has a deep understanding of user-centred design principles and knows how to balance these with business objectives. One of Kasia’s best qualities is her ability to analyse and synthesise user insights and data. Her attention to detail and dedication to quality work in design research have been instrumental in guiding multiple projects, ensuring they have clear objectives and research supported design decisions. She has a unique talent for translating design jargon into language that is clear and accessible to non-experts. In addition to these skills, I have found Kasia to be a lovely teammate who I’d be happy to collaborate with on anything. She is open minded and kind hearted, always willing to communicate ideas and takes the initiative to ensure everyone is on the same page. I also appreciate how she is always willing to help out when needed and she is overall a down to earth and friendly person to talk to. I highly recommend Kasia - any team would be really lucky to have her!
