2020

Together with my teammates from A11 Studio, I worked on a startup called Reach.Live to design their new event hosting platform. Reach.Live allows companies to host events and easily engage with their audience using features created to help them create memorable experiences. I specifically designed the latest interface of the web app, all of its features & technical parts, the whole branding website, dashboard interface, chat, Q&A community section, production & marketing assets, and many other components not mentioned above.

2020

My task was to redesign the current website for Syrup Advertising, an agency I worked at three months earlier this year. The project was going really well until I was forced to stop working on it because I was laid off from the agency in May due to the situation with COVID-19. Nevertheless, the agency was very pleased with what I've come up with.

2020

As a contractor, while working at Syrup, I've worked on implementing a new feature that 4ka - one of the largest LTE network wireless providers in Slovakia was planning to roll out later that year. The challenge was to make a wireframe that would show how 4ka should display smartphones people can buy with their data subscriptions. My task was to design this process from start to right until the item is added to a shopping cart. Another challenge was to optimize the user experience of buying a mobile phone on 4ka's brand new website. The client was very pleased with my work and therefore this project was a success and is now implemented on their website. Although I couldn't change the UI, I think the website meets its purpose and is functional & easy to use.

2020

Symbiosy was looking to revamp their website. My task was to redesign their current website and update the content according to their requirements. I started with wireframes, then I moved to make a simple prototype, and finally, I designed a new user interface for their new, improved website.
