Loan Management System for Bank
Loan Management
System for Bank
Segment: Banking
Year: 2018
Role: Product Designer
Goal: An international bank approached me to redesign the call center’s internal loan/debt management information system.
The initial state was an outdated web application characterised by the classic symptoms of a developer-driven approach without user focus, which swelled into an unsatisfactory experience over the years with a lot of issues like:
Slow performance caused by displaying all data at once
Lack of information hierarchy and structure
Piled up UI caused by unintentional adding new features over the years
Only text-based information - cluttered information all over the page instead of drill down approach
For a complete case study, please contact me.

About Jan
For almost 20 years, I've worked with global clients to help them understand their customers and create delightful experiences.
In my previous role as VP of Design at an early-stage SaaS start-up, I cover a wide range of activities and wear multiple hats from product designer, and researcher to product manager defining and guiding the execution of product vision.
I was UX manager at SIEMENS Digital Software, where I led both local and global cloud products design teams. I contributed to YoY's double-digit growth by collaborating daily with Product Management, User Research, and Engineering teams to bring users' insights into production.
I'll be here to help blend design thinking into the development process. I can find and lead great talents. I often communicate the value of good design to management, engineers, and clients.
I primarily work with Miro/Figma.
I speak English, Czech and passively Polish and Slovak.
