What people say about me
“
I had the chance to work with Ondrej during my contract at Knight Frank and he was able to take design decisions based on research insights from the Data analysts and plan design steps with dev and PO, present to stakeholders and deliver on time with tights deadlines.
He is not just a dedicated professional but also a great and inspiring design partner to work with.

There's always that one designer who's on your mind when you think of the perfect collaborator. This is Ondrej for me.
His experience, insights, meticulousness, eye for detail and design ideas combine with his expert knowledge on UX makes him the perfect person for any product, whether he's adding a new feature to existing products, or starting a greenfield project from scratch. His knack of getting in the mindset of the user is second-to-none, with a thorough understanding of their needs, motivations and pain-points.
He's not only a fantastic designer, but also a leader in his field, able to mentor his product design team and build strong relationships within the wider company.
Any design team would be lucky to have Ondrej at the helm.

Working with Ondrej has been a great experience for multiple reasons:
- Great Leadership: He's always open to suggestions when approaching projects and negotiating with stakeholders. I've always felt confident following both his advice and leadership in any given situation. For this, I take pride in having Ondrej as my manager and representative for the UX team at Knight Frank.
- Professional & Honest: I found Ondrej to be very professional when it comes to managing and negotiating both stakeholder and user requirements. If there's a better solution, it never comes without clear explanation or evidence which has allowed for a healthy relationship between the UX team, our users and the business.
- Mentoring: Without Ondrej my skills in UX would not be where they are today. He has a high but fair standard for quality throughout each step in any given process. With this our methods behind design not only improve the final outcome but efficiency in doing so as well. I'm truly confident that Ondrej is able to give both solid advice and enhance the skillset of anyone working with him in the future.
Finally I'd like to say what an absolute pleasure it has been to work with Ondrej at Knight Frank. Not only does he take great care in his work but also the people around him and for that he remains my top recommendation including the above points made.

Buscaba para mi negocio un logo sencillo pero que fuera capaz de simbolizar el trabajo que desempeño.
Me encontré con Ondrej y le expliqué lo que quería, tras unos días de espera, me mostró el boceto de lo que al final se acabaría convirtiendo en mi logo.
Diseño, como ya he dicho, sencillo, minimalista, actual y bonito.
El trato con Ondrej siempre fue muy bueno, es cercano, atento y serio con las entregas.
Sin duda volvería a elegirle si necesitara que me ayudara con algún diseño. Recomendable 100%"
