Bio
Tim Lukas Leinert
Justyna is a true catalyst! Her inspiring passion for the craft of game design, storytelling, and UX was crucial for the product's success. She continuously turned abstract game visions into tangible prototypes and helped the whole team to reach ambitious goals. I am super happy and grateful that we were partners on this journey, and I can't wait until our paths cross again.

Justyna was a joy to work with! She came onto the project as a talented graphic artist, we connected very well and worked together naturally. Her great knowledge of games and her curiosity were key to the project's creation. As she picked up more game design responsibilities, she restructured the game, efficiently integrating new fun puzzles while maintaining the workflow for other departments. I hope to work with her again in the future!
