Karolina Roziewicz
Senior Learning Experience Designer, Bots&People, Poland
I am a learning designer facilitating people's natural tendency to grow and learn. Over the past 16 years I have gotten my hands dirty delving into learning products and projects delivering evidence-based and science-supported learning solutions. With a few pitstops at various L&D departments I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of the learning and growth challenges of the modern organizations.
Having recently come home to learning products and I am currently exploring the fascinating world of citizen developer enablement in the field of process automation. It's a quaky and rapid ride filled with cutting-edge technology, future skills and learning-friendly approach.
