Elwira Maria Arkanow Zdunczyk

Elwira is a Global Design Leader shaping how complex organisations make technology feel human. Her path began in Poland, self-taught, moving between oil paint and pixels. She created animated paintings for the Oscar-winning studio Breakthrough in Gdansk for a Loving Vincent movie. The intensity of that labour revealed a truth: craft alone doesn't scale impact. She turned to UI design, starting with skeuomorphic icons and comprehensive kits, building fluency in the emerging language of digital interfaces. At twenty-two, she moved to the UK and joined HSBC's largest digital transformation as a middleweight designer, working between Reading and London Canary Wharf. That foothold accelerated everything that followed: Ticketmaster's enterprise platforms handling ~500 million tickets annually, the award-winning UBS Neo cross-asset system with 1.8 million users, UBS Delta risk analytics (later acquired for €13.05M), and ultimately JPMorgan Chase. At JPM she rose from Design System Architect to Vice President, Digital UX Designer. She led UX strategy and design for complex research initiatives, contributing to the firm's LLM-powered mobile platform and a firm-wide client relationship system serving the largest asset managers in America. She scaled the Salt Design System to 86% adoption across enterprise tools, built custom tooling generating $8.1M annual ROI, and pioneered advanced prototyping practices, training global design teams on methods that accelerated delivery and decision making. Now she works remotely from Poland as an independent Design Leader, translating enterprise complexity into intuitive, compliant, and genuinely useful experiences.​​​​​​​
