Jira / Confluence / Notion (Product Workflows)03Process
A structured yet flexible process that adapts to your needs — from fast-moving startups to enterprise-scale transformations.
Understanding users, business context and technical constraints.
I start by deeply understanding your users, business context, and technical constraints. This includes stakeholder interviews, user research, competitive analysis, and heuristic evaluation of existing solutions.
Defining a clear design direction based on research and business goals.
Based on research insights, I develop a strategic design direction — information architecture, user flow mapping, concept ideation, and alignment sessions with key stakeholders.
Turning concepts into tested, high-fidelity product experiences.
From wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes, I design with precision and craft. Every decision is purposeful, grounded in research, and tested iteratively with real users throughout.
Working with development teams through implementation and continuous improvement.
I work closely with development teams to ensure pixel-perfect implementation, create comprehensive design documentation, and continue optimising based on live data and user feedback post-launch.
04Recommendations
Feedback from colleagues, clients, and mentees who have worked with me.
“Jakub is an experienced and highly skilled designer who knows how to connect a strategic product perspective with practical, effective solutions.

Jakub has deep knowledge and experience in the field, which he proactively uses in his work. He is direct, his proposed solutions are always based on data and research, and he always uses and respects factual evidence.”
“I had the opportunity to work closely with Jakub for more than 2.5 years. During that time I got to know him in a wide range of challenging situations and joint discussions, in which he repeatedly proved himself to be a true professional. He has excellent overview, is able to think in broader contexts and see beyond the horizon. On top of that, he is a great partner you can speak to openly and directly. For me, one of the best UX designers I have ever worked with.”
“I worked closely with Jakub during his time at Komerční banka. As a Product Designer and UX leader, he was key in making KB+ a modern banking app that brought real business results. Jakub stands out by being both strategic and hands-on. He makes smart decisions based on data and user feedback, while keeping track of the whole product. His work in design and product planning helped make KB's digital banking much better.”

05About
Jakub Spitzer
Currently based in Prague, Czech Republic
I'm Jakub, a Senior UI/UX & Product Designer based in Prague with over a decade of experience designing digital products that people genuinely enjoy using. I've worked across fintech, health tech, enterprise SaaS, and telco — always at the intersection of business goals, user needs, and technical feasibility.
My approach blends rigorous research with strong aesthetic sensibility and a deep respect for craft. I'm equally comfortable facilitating a discovery workshop with C-suite stakeholders as I am perfecting interaction details at the component level. Design, to me, is fundamentally about solving real problems — and I love the hard ones.
I believe great product design comes from listening carefully, thinking clearly, and executing with intention. Over the years I've built design systems, led DesignOps transformations, and shipped products used by hundreds of thousands of people across Central Europe.
