Business sense, brand instinct.
I’m Zuzanna — a Finance & Accounting student at DePaul University (Marketing minor) who also works as a UI/UX designer and marketing contributor. I move between analyzing markets and client portfolios, running marketing outreach and campaigns, and designing the visuals that carry them — backed by certifications across marketing, AI tools, and analytics.
Where clean design meets business thinking.
I’m a Finance and Accounting student at DePaul University (Driehaus College of Business, minor in Marketing, Dean’s List, 3.89 GPA), and since 2024 I’ve worked as a UI/UX designer and marketing contributor at WWS (Wizerunek w Sieci), where I’ve designed and optimized websites and social campaigns for over 100 businesses spanning shipping, construction, healthcare, and professional services.
My work bridges two worlds: the visual, brand-building side of design and the analytical, client-facing side of finance. I’ve analyzed equity and fixed-income markets as a Wealth Management Intern at MTD Financial, guided clients through purchasing decisions at Ford Motor Company, and led marketing and professional-development initiatives for two student organizations — all while keeping a steady hand on Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Elementor.
I’m fluent in Polish, conversational in Russian, and always looking for the next brand that needs both a sharp look and a smart plan.
