Hello, I'm

Vlado
Krejci

Senior Product Designer specializing in AI tools for enterprise content management

|

I design intelligent systems
for human needs.

I work where technology and design intersect.
I think in systems, I design for people.

My Journey

When I started studying Computer Science, I was drawn to Human-Computer Interaction – inspired by pioneers like Doug Engelbart, Steve Jobs, and Don Norman.

But what really drove me was the feeling I experienced when using exceptionally well-designed products – that sense of delight when everything works beautifully.

I wanted to create that for others.

AI-first mindset

Early on, I realized that AI would be central to my design work – steering it toward problems worth solving.

I rapidly adopt AI tools to amplify my workflow – from AI-assisted coding to custom agents for repetitive tasks.

I bring this experience to designing AI solutions for enterprise content teams, shaping how AI transforms creative work.

Let's create something meaningful

Beyond product design and AI, I'm passionate about permaculture and systems thinking. If you're working on something that connects technology with purpose, I'd love to hear about it.
