Marian Kadlec - Senior UX/UI Designer and Product Designer from Prague, Czech Republic

Hey folks, I'm Marian Kadlec and for 15 years, I have been delivering innovative user-centered design and real business results.

My design journey and professional background

Over the course of my career, I've had the chance to work as a visual, UI, or UX designer on a wide range of projects across different industries:

digital marketing e-commerce foodies insurance fintech startups job markets low-code platforms information systems development

I've worked with both well-established companies and fast-growing startups, in both async and sync setups. I was usually part of agile teams, responsible for the entire design process and later also for getting it into production.

Marian Kadlec's design portfolio showcasing 15 years of UX/UI design experience across fintech, e-commerce, and digital products

I have solid experience across the whole design process – from early idea phases, through research, user studies, testing, and iterations, all the way to final prototypes and handoff materials for the dev team. That includes everything from precisely defined styles and components to detailed specs for features and behaviors of individual elements.

I've worked my way up to larger-scale projects, where monthly traffic reaches into the millions and annual turnover is in the billions. This journey gave me the most experience when it comes to scalability and sustainability of design, including a deeper understanding of design systems and how to implement them into products.

Selected Work and Professional Experience

Senior UX Designer

Jobs.cz 2020 - 2025

I was a key member in the redesign and repositioning of the Jobs.cz brand and its web portal. As a senior UX and UI designer, I was responsible for the design direction of the project and other designers. My role was to orchestrate stakeholders, external brand agencies, project teams, and the design system team at the design level. I went through the most complex role in my professional career.

A very significant project was also the Spirit design system, which was created practically alongside the Jobs brand redesign. I dealt not only with the design system as such, but also with its position as a product within the company, because its role was ultimately to serve all products from the Alma family across Europe. I was part of the design vs code automation topic and the sustainability and scalability of the design system.

Product Designer

Atmoskop.cz 2023 - 2025

After joining Atmoskop, I became involved in an ongoing redesign process, where I took on the role of product designer in an agile, synchronous team. I was able to apply my experience from the extensive redesign process of the Jobs.cz job portal, of which I was a key part. I focused on designing and testing optimal solutions that meet business goals while considering user needs.

UX & UI Designer

Team Assistant 2023 - present

As part of an agile product team working in asynchronous mode, I participate in the redesign of a cloud-based low-code solution called Team Assistant. The solution enables endless possibilities for process digitalization. My main task was to rework the main part of the web application, and gradually we focused on other functional units, including the mobile application.

Along with the redesign, a comprehensive design system was created that enables easy and sustainable scaling. It contains not only an extensive library of components and design tokens, but also various color skins.

I also participate in the redesign of the brand's visual identity and preparation of the product for expansion into foreign markets under a new brand.

UX & UI Designer

Storyous 2018 - 2021

In an agile product team, I developed as a UI and UX designer a complete ecosystem of applications and payment systems for retail customers of Storyous (now Teya.com).

I encountered a number of situations arising from the previous absence of a designer in the team and an established design process. Therefore, I gradually introduced a comprehensive design process, which among other things included occasional user interviews.

At the same time, I developed a UI component library and design tokens, which facilitated project scaling and also helped with the planned redesign of the web application.

Within my design practice, I have also demonstrated my abilities in these projects:
