About me

My name is Jana "JanKa" Kašová. I am UI, UX & Web Designer, Project Manager & Surf Coach. I was born in Czech Republic. When I was 20 and studying abroad, I fell in love.. with the ocean. I am living mostly in Lisbon sometimes in Prague, occasionally in Bali or somewhere tropical, working my way to become geographically independent UI & UX Designer and Free Surfer. I am addicted to learning new things. So when I finished my Master's at Media studies, I decided to learn to code websites and apps. I also do Design, mainly Web Design, UI & UX. Trying to get better in everything I do. I have some work history in Marketing and Content Creation, so I can use my skills from there too. So in a shortcut, I am always helping to my clients with their successful on-line presence. Because I don't like sitting at the computer whole day and I enjoy some offline work too, I am also Surfing Coach, certified by International Academy of Surfing Instructors. And I constantly work on my own surfing performance too. That results in being 2x National Champion of the Czech Republic in Surfing, last time in 2022. :) Even though it sounds like I am super busy, it actually combines pretty well. If you are interested in working with me, do not hesitate to contact me.
