I'm Patrik – a user-oriented product designer – interested in building & scaling design systems. I'm a huge fan of Lean UX, design thinking methodology & design sprints. Currently, I'm based in Bratislava, Slovakia – but can work remotely for clients and startups worldwide.

Every time I build a digital product, I try to do my best and solve complex problems. I always try to come up with solutions that can improve user experience and balance business/users' needs.

As a fan of agile development and Lean methodology, I talk about design as about iterative process. Nowadays, you don't have to spend all of your resources (money and time) on building something that people won't use. A better way how to do that and validate your early ideas is to rapidly create and test interactive prototypes with real users to gather valuable feedback. Then you can better understand users' perspectives, learn from them and improve digital products constantly in the next stages.

In my free time, I always try to educate myself, learn new things, and read more about design thinking methodology or other things related to UX. I'm a lover of simplicity, typography, and technology.

I can help you with the following:

– defining problems & hypotheses
– running brainstorming sessions or ideation workshops
– creating flows, wireframes, and rapid prototypes
– building or scaling complex design systems
– design of mobile apps or complex web apps
– development supervision
– user testing sessions
