Strategy Brand Design

Most teams don't struggle with design. They struggle with clarity.

I work across strategy, brand, and product design to help teams figure out what matters next for users and business — and then we make it real.

About

Matej Hlavacek

I'm a senior product designer with 15+ years across strategy, brand, and UX/UI. I work on ambiguous, early-stage briefs — usually starting with discovery and research before any design work begins — and carry projects through brand and product design to launch.

In my experience, what looks like a design problem is often a clarity problem — who is this for, what are we really solving, what can we leave out. So that's where I start: talking to the people who'll actually use the thing, and helping the team decide what's worth building before we design any of it.

I can join as a contractor, long-term partner, or embedded senior designer — whatever fits how your team works. I work remote-first; hybrid is an option depending on location.

Right now I work independently, often in collaboration with pospolu.design — the Prague studio I co-founded in 2016 — and with other teams. Before that, I spent years in Reykjavík, studying design and working as a Digital Art Director at TBWA.
