About me
I'm a Senior Product Designer based in Brno, Czech Republic. 15+ years of experience, most of it spent designing headless CMS products, building design systems, and advocating for accessible interfaces.
What I do
I design digital products that are clear, fast, and useful. My work goes beyond Figma prototypes — I facilitate design workshops, run usability research, align with product managers and developers, and stay involved through to shipped.
Currently at Kontent.ai, where I:
- Own end-to-end product design across complex enterprise workflows
- Oversee the design system — components, guidelines, and coaching designers on proper use
- Lead accessibility advocacy — WCAG AA compliance, contrast, keyboard navigation, clickable area sizes

Approach
I start with a lot of questions. I'm comfortable saying "we should reconsider the problem" when the brief turns out to be solving the wrong thing. Research-informed decisions, deep understanding of user needs, and close collaboration with engineering and product are how I work — not just UX as a handoff step.
