Sharing My Passion for Design
In my free time, I enjoy helping others get started in UX. I’ve taught a UX course at Laba, a Czech education platform, which was a great way to deepen my own understanding of UX fundamentals and connect with many inspiring people.
While at Oracle, I helped organize public UX meetups, and I’ve also had the chance to speak at Masaryk University a few times.
Home-made Hardwood Furniture
Probably my biggest passion in the last couple of years is interior design and specifically making my own additions to our home.
I turned our balcony into a small workshop and started experimenting with traditional woodworking. I try to challenge myself and test what everything can be made at home and without power tools. And yes, my wife is very tolarant, I’m a lucky man.
Art Experiments
I wouldn’t call myself an artist but I like to think of myself as a creative soul. From time to time I experiment with art techniques that I find on Pinterest.
My latest project was an acrylic painting of a dream-like beach that I pained in collaboration with my little son. On the bottom picture is a wall in the kids’ room that we painted with my wife before our first son was born. We projected the animals on the wall by the projector to get the proportions right. It was a very funny weekend.
Custom Lego Models
I’m a huge Lego fan. I always loved Lego – it sparks creativity and it’s the best design system ever created.
At some point, I realised that designing my own models is even more fun than building the official sets. The first picture is my micro build of Hogwarts castle (built couple years before Lego released its own version in 2024). Then Adamov castle in Czechia and some locations from Lord of the Rings.
Resume
About me
I’m a product designer with 10+ years of experience with focus on enterprise SaaS, blending systems thinking with detail-oriented interaction design, and leadership experience.
After Alteryx internal reorganization, I transitioned into UX Manager role to broaden my leadership skills, however my passion lies with hands-on design. I’m currently looking for opportunity to grow as individual contributor.
My Strengths
My coding background enables me to tackle complex, technical projects with high degree of ambiguity. I have experience in design systems, prototyping, user research, and enjoy exploring new tools and technologies — especially in the AI space.
Leveling Up
I’ve recently became excited about Object-Oriented UX and I’m actively seeking opportunities to apply this methodology in real-world projects.
