What they said about me

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Jakub on a biomarker data platform. His role as a senior UX designer was instrumental to the value created by the product team. Working with Jakub has been a personal pleasure, not only because of who he is as a person but also because he is undoubtedly one of the smartest UX designers I have had the pleasure to work with. He possesses a great talent for distilling actual user needs, even in the most complex terrains, such as medical drug development, and turns problems into great designs. Additionally, he has taken ownership of the product process well beyond typical UX design and managed to ensure that our multidisciplinary team, as well as our stakeholders, understood the "why" behind our strategy and execution. Jakub's approach to design is methodical, yet empathetic and user-focused. He excels in orchestrating continuous discovery processes, conducting regular user interviews, and testing prototypes with users from various backgrounds. He ensured that the final product was both functional, intuitive, and visually appealing. Very few designers master all of these disciplines. In summary, Jakub's blend of skills and experience in UX design, and his understanding of the complex needs of the life sciences and healthcare sectors, make him an outstanding candidate for a designer position in this field. I am confident that he will continue to excel and bring valuable insights and innovation to any team lucky enough to have him."

  • "Jakub has been a key asset for our product team when re-designing ProStream and transforming it from collection of fields and buttons into a tool with customer-centricity in the forefront - easier to navigate and more capable than ever. He's not only a great designer, but I have come to greatly appreciate Jakub's expertise in user research as well. When we conducted a series of interviews with customers, he guided us through the sessions and processed the information gathered into a structured and concise set of recommendations. Lastly, I have always appreciated his friendly and flexible way of working. Discussions with him were a pleasure and if there ever was difficulty ahead of us, we were able to solve it together in a cooperative and overall positive way."

    Vaclav Trnka - Head of Product @ ProStream (2024)

  • "Jakub is really an emphatic and independent colleague which I have had a chance to cooperate with. He really knows where the substantial contribution of his work is and this ability of him makes us faster and more effective in our development process. He is growing into a real user experience specialist and I´m looking forward to his successes in this field and hope we will work together again in the future."

    Jiri Horcicka - Product Manager @ Bisnode (2015)

  • "I'm so grateful to have had Jakub as my design mentor. Jakub is wonderfully calm, which brought a sense of peace and focus to every discussion. What stands out most is how he actively listens before responding. This not only made me feel heard but also deepened my understanding and confidence. Our conversations about the industry were always enlightening and enjoyable, even when they ventured beyond our immediate projects. I also valued his encouragement to fearlessly try new things, such as creating paper prototypes. Thank you, Jakub, for your guidance and thoughtful support!"
