About

Jan Cikrle

For eight years I have been turning complex briefs into products that make sense to the people who use them, the developers who build them and the company that pays for them.

I do not draw isolated screens. I design systems where everything connects: from a button through the user experience to the brand. Development is delivered with partner studio Aestio. I work from Brno for clients across the Czech Republic and remotely.

Outside work

Want to know more?

  • Drawing

    I have drawn since childhood. The illustrations for Mathman and MILES were made by hand.

  • Fitness and lifting

    Nothing clears the head like a barbell.

  • PlayStation

    Games are a good school of UX. Especially the ones where you never get lost.

  • Fantasy

    Worlds with their own rules. Like design systems, just with dragons.

  • Craft beer

    I like trying new breweries. The label often sells before the taste does.

  • Spicy food

    The hotter, the better.

  • Coffee

    No coffee, no wireframe. I even drew labels for Crazybeans.
