[ Expertise ]
These four pillars form the core of my design practice. Like precise incisions, they shape how I approach challenges, craft solutions, and lead teams. While my work covers many areas, these are the key places where I deliver the most impact.

Product

I lead design with surgical focus, solving real problems through clarity, flow, and human intent. From early diagnosis to final operation, I shape ideas into purposeful solutions. Whether digital, physical, or strategic, I balance user needs and business goals with care.

Craft

I care deeply about details, from interaction behavior to visual polish, because design is also an emotional experience. The smallest cut, when done well, can create joy, clarity, and meaning, turning design into a human expression.

Creative

With a background in illustration and storytelling, I shape user experiences and product direction through clear, emotionally engaging visual systems. Whether guiding overall UX flow or crafting visual narratives, I focus on clarity, tone, and creating identities that feel alive, intentional, and carefully stitched together.

Leadership

I guide teams through complex challenges by shaping vision, framing direction, and turning ambiguity into clear action. I collaborate closely with PMs, engineers, and designers to drive alignment and momentum, ensuring every step is precise, purposeful, and impactful.

He brings not only expertise but also a spirit of partnership and a drive for excellence that makes a lasting impact.

With exceptional grit and perseverance, Filip dived into a world unfamiliar to him, quickly mastered it, and helped us ship. He is a talented designer and artist, but what truly sets him apart is who he is as a person: compassionate, empathetic, deeply introspective, and always open to growth.

Filip’s work was critical for evolving Immersion’s Haptic solution for automotive HMIs from a simple button confirmation interaction to a complete haptic language that made the drivers interactions safer, more fluid and more efficient.

Filip has a unique talent for balancing the big-picture, holistic view with meticulous attention to detail. He has proven his leadership time and again, particularly in unblocking and shipping the Fluent Design System website and subsequent features.

Filip is UI visionary who excels at communicating that vision, not only his staff, but the entire team. He creates strong style guides which lead to happy clients, and works directly with the creative team, directing the visual style and user experience of the interfaces.

I realized quickly that Filip had the knowledge and expertise to create a strategic road map that would carry our brand seamlessly into our UI and UX experience.
