Dreadful Design

Patrick Krawczykowski

Product Design Leader

Building experiences that are unforgettable

I'm a design director and technical leader building design systems and defining user centered business opportunities from pre-seed to enterprise.

I'm currently the head of design at Avail. I oversee our team of product designers, and ui engineers that build the components that power our products.

In the past I've had the opportunity to design software across a wide variety of settings, from design agencies, to non-profits, to startups.

I'm based in Chicago. In my spare time I'm usually reading, running, or building fun things like the app to your left.
