UX Designer in Brno

I’m aspiring making things less wrong. More intuitive, useful, and beautiful.

Work Experience

2019 — Now
Brno

I’m working with AURA, a leader in military logistics and NATO-standardized systems, on a new logistics product for our first client, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU). My work involves user research, analysis, and crafting intuitive design solutions tailored to support secure, reliable logistics operations. Project details remain confidential under NDA.

I worked on a security app for homes and offices at Angelcam, integrating various camera types and sensors to enable real-time monitoring and management. My role included user testing, prototyping, and visual design, ensuring a quick and reliable setup for users.

2016 — 2018

I worked as a designer at Kiwi.com, focusing on the 'Manage My Booking' feature to minimize call center workload and enhance upselling opportunities. My role involved understanding user needs through research and validation, creating user flows, wireframes, and prototypes, as well as UI design. I communicated directly with HQ and customers, supervised development, and proposed solutions that aligned with the company's strategy
