Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Martinek is a multidisciplinary practitioner blending 11+ years of web design and civic tech experience with academic training in political science and media studies. Currently a bookbinder and long-time freelancer in Brno, he focuses on service and interaction design, institutional design, and preserving necessary complexity in systems—a self-described "Doubt Specialist" who surfaces hard questions rather than tidy answers. His work spans academia, events, and social-good projects, with roles at Masaryk University, Proof & Reason, and WebExpo that reflect a tension between user experience and organizational structures. Comfortable shifting between hands-on web tech and strategic analysis, he pursues humane, civic-minded technology while retaining a playful habit of drafting and then pruning ideas.
