Interdisciplinary design in Czechia

About

Hey, I'm an interdisciplinary designer from The Czech Republic who embodies two contrasting identities when it comes to design philosophy:

One that values precision and simplicity, placing great importance on functionality in design, and recognizing that aesthetics alone won't suffice.

On the contrary, the other persona enjoys pushing boundaries with unconventional ideas, daring designs, and eccentricity.

So, which side of the spectrum resonates with you?

Projects

2024

I've created a prototype for a simple iOS app that captures your surroundings with the camera and transforms them into beautiful gradients. The app includes sliders for further customization, allowing you to adjust graininess, saturation, and blur to achieve the desired effect.

Link: appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.creat…

This is an early prototype with limited functionality, developed using Play. Currently, gradients cannot be saved directly to your photo library. Instead, you can hide the app’s UI by swiping down anywhere on the screen and then take a screenshot. Please note that performance may be unstable on older iPhones, as no optimizations have been made yet.

I’m actively exploring the potential of this prototype and considering the development of a full-featured app. Possible features include saving high-resolution gradients, recording videos, or even vectorizing captured gradients (is that even possible?).

Are you an iOS engineer interested in helping make this app a reality?
