Dawid Skinder
Web 3.0 Bio:
Brand-led product strategist and UX/UI design leader who turns messy, community-run blockchain initiatives into credible, usable, and marketable experiences—by shipping brand systems, design kits, governance hygiene, and developer enablement for Terra Classic.
Signature contributions to Terra Classic:
1) Terra Classic Rebranding Concepts (v1a, v1b, v2)
A multi-version brand exploration to visually emancipate LUNC from TFL, define key visuals, and raise marketing quality. Includes interactive Figma presentations (v1a/v1b/v2) and a commitment to contribute logo/key assets free of charge if governance selects the system. 
Why it matters: addresses the “no identity / no funnel” problem hampering growth, perception, and onboarding. 
2) FREE Terra Classic UI Kit (CC BY 4.0)
A Figma-based kit—originally built for StrathCole’s Terra Classic wallet UI—released free for commercial use under CC BY 4.0 to accelerate ecosystem UX and standardize look & feel. Opened to Terra (LUNA) teams as well. 
Context: released after a public dispute about unauthorized reuse of his wallet UI; to turn a negative into ecosystem leverage, Dawid made the kit public and documented code artifacts that preserved his attribution. 
3) Enhancing Validator Efficiency (Ops framework)
A structured proposal to move validators from talk to task: adopt PM tools (GitHub/Jira/Asana), specialize by proof of skills (no doxxing required), break initiatives into sub-tasks, and assign accountable PMs—so decisions convert into shipped work. 
Motivation: current comms (Telegram/Common/Discord/X) drift toward endless discussion; the proposal reframes validators as the de-facto “executive organ” post-TFL. 
4) List of Companies with Cosmos/Blockchain Expertise
A curated vendor landscape (Cosmos-specialists and broader blockchain houses) to help Terra Classic hire professional devs instead of ad-hoc arrangements; used to nudge validators toward pro execution. 
5) Independent Community Website — terra-classic.money
Design and implementation of a lean, neutral, community-driven site—selected by governance to be the link third-party profiles should point to (e.g., CMC/CG/exchanges). Includes SEO structure and live price components; clearly disclaims it’s not “official.” 
Governance path: Proposal #12181 to update third-party “Website” links to terra-classic.money; background rationale documented on Commonwealth. 
Promotion & updates: progress logs, deposit and vote announcements, and SEO/feature updates posted on X. 
6) Juris Protocol — brand strategy & product design
Led full-stack brand & UX work (brand & comms strategy, visual identity, website UX/UI, app UX/UI, and user docs) for a Terra-aligned protocol, signaling Dawid’s cross-project design leadership in the ecosystem. 
7) UST Protocol / USTD (concept)
Part of the implementation team behind new protocol/stablecoin concept by RedlineDrifter and REDNiks.
Web 2.0 Bio:
I have been developing my skills, knowledge and experience continuously and fearlessly for 19 years.
Since 2005, I have had the pleasure to be a freelancer as well as a key full-time employee of such agencies as i-Systems (now Merce, leading Enterprise Commerce Platform in Poland) and Gong (award-winning Polish marketing / creative agency).
Since 2012, as a founder and owner, I have been leading CHALLENGE - award-winning Polish studio focused on Branding, UX/UI and AI, with over 150 project for medium and big size companies on the Polish and world stages.
The experience that I gained allows me to successfully connect two worlds - business and creation. As an entrepreneur, I analyze and understand the business problems of my partners and manage projects and teams of various sizes. As a designer, I do not forget about the user experience and the importance of the visual layer.
I have become what industry calls a “unicorn designer” (definition - ”someone who can not only design, but also articulate design decisions, manage stakeholders, and code/ship those designs at the same time.). I have a unique set of skills and knowledge that can be successfully used to build or develop a modern business.
This is confirmed by my portfolio (www.dawidskinder.pl and www.challengestudio.pl - I have participated in all CHALLENGE projects, as a manager, creator or both), numerous appearances as a speaker at various events throughout Poland, and client references.
I am also:
- one of the founders of Pomysł Szefa (Chef’s idea). Startup that offers modern catering service in Poland.
- founders of PANiRAMA (The Man and Frame). Online store selling prints of original panoramic photos and images.
Billiards amateur. Bad driver. Loyal listener of electronic music. Even bigger fan of Tolkien.
