Hello (web) surfer! I’m Viktor Golias, a Product designer.
I believe in a holistic approach in designing digital products. Design solutions should meet user needs, consider technical implementation complexity and reach business goals.
Currently available for hire
Product (feature) validation with stakeholders or/and users is essential part of my design process. Interactive mockups communicate idea in a tangible way.
Approved concept is transformed into wireframes, user flows and final UI representation. Usability and Aesthetics are standard.
Through my career I created Design Systems with aim to teach others the principles and guide healthy evolution of the product.
Experience with e-commerce, automotive
I understand code
I have worked with incredible people in different environments (product team, international digital agency, freelancing and as a co-founder of a startup).
London Theatre Direct. is one of the leaders among ticket selling platforms for London's West End shows.
The aim was to reform the already solid web and iOS platform user experience, introduce responsive design and enhance user-interface interaction.
FJORD is a global design and innovation consultancy with a focus on service design.
As a part of FJORD's Berlin team worked on online services of one of the five oldest automotive company, ŠKODA Auto. I operated on many levels of design and helped to build complex, highly modular architecture to meet various country-specific business goals.
