HELLO!

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m Marta Denkiewicz and I’m a UX designer and user researcher and previously to launching Panacea Digital I’ve been designing digital experiences and researching user needs for global and UK-based brands like Sage, MasterCard and The Co-operative Group.

In 2017 I decided to quit my last full-time job and set up as an independent designer.

I had the freedom to choose who I wanted to work with. And I chose to focus on working with healthcare startups.

I chose healthcare as a focus area because I wanted to know that the products I work on have a real, meaningful and positive impact on the lives of their users.

And also to work on products I can relate to myself – I probably tried every single fitness and meditation app out there 😉

I use a mix of design and research methods to help you:

→ test product concepts
→ showcase your idea to potential investors and partners
→ turn your vision into tangible product MVP
→ improve UX and increase user engagement and satisfaction

WORKING WITH ME

Are you a digital health entrepreneur, dedicated to helping people live happier, better lives?

Do you care deeply about the user experience and value solid, insight-driven expertise over surface-level fixes?

Sounds like you? Then we’re a great match!

At the same time, I want to promise you this – you can expect the same level of commitment and dedication from me. I want to work closely with you to understand your users and figure out your business challenges to come up with solutions that will help you achieve both your business goals and your mission of helping people live healthier lives.

Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

Commitment

I believe strongly in the importance of digital health care and I’m dedicated to creating meaningful user experiences that impact the quality of people’s lives.

Collaboration

I believe the best outcome is achieved when the process is collaborative, there’s no “shiny result” at the end that will truly benefit your business if you are not included in the process. You know your business and you have a vision, I know about creating great digital experiences – the best result can be achieved if we work together, value each others expertise and trust in the process.

Empathy

Through my experience as a user researcher I understood that listening and asking the right questions truly are superpowers. I now apply the same emphatic approach to my consulting work and strive to fully understand both the user and the client I work with, to create meaningful solutions that benefit both.

Integrity

I believe in following a proven design process and getting to the bottom of the problem over promising quick fixes. But I also believe that projects (and designers) come in all shapes and forms, and if I think I’m not the best person for the job, I’ll be happy to suggest another path instead of promising something I can’t deliver.
