What I do 9 to 5

Hi, I’m Janka – a digital product designer with a background in management and service design, and expertise in feature delivery, user research, and design systems.

Currently, I’ve been building a SaaS B2C product as the sole designer on a small team at UX studio. Now, I'm looking for my next long-term role as a product designer.

My fascination with computers started at the ripe age of 12 when I realized that if I took a few lines of code and uploaded them to a server, I’d be able to display anything on the big internet. I ended up equally loving great information design, pretty UIs, and solving complex problems.

I'm observant, curious, and love to ask questions.

What I do 5 to 9

When I’m not hunched over in front of my computer, you can catch me bopping around Budapest, doing pilates or yoga, always reading but never finishing a book, or cooking my favorite meals. People also say I make a pretty good garlic butter focaccia.

I also love taking photos with my old Minolta. Here are a few of my favorites from places I love the most.
