Jana Korbičková
Senior Product Designer & Mentor
Alma Career
Conditions for designers are rarely ideal – tight deadlines, limited budgets, little room for proper testing, designing for multiple products. Jana experienced it all. She has worked in both modes: adapting to constraints and minimising risk, or improving the system itself. AI has become a part of her daily workflow, from ideation and rapid prototyping to research. Happy to share what works – from Práce za rohem, Seduo, Jobs.cz, Slevomat, Revido etc."
