VIKTOR GOLIAS

After finishing my Master Thesis in Artificial Intelligence, entrepreneurial endeavors took me to startup accelerator based in Prague. After failing, there was a question in the air - What's next?

Speaking with new people from the design community helped me to realize the challenges & opportunities behind expanding industry of digital design. 

I ended up freelancing, later joined FJORD crew and currently shaping ticket selling experience of LondonTheatreDirect platform.

I'm open to new opportunities. Contact me :-)

I have experience with building digital products since 2008 (design or development, sometimes simultaneously). Currently focusing purely on design.

Learning never stopped for me.  Occasionally I tell photo stories as an amateur photographer, volunteer for local charity and teach cuban salsa.

Don't hesitate to contact me with an interesting project.
