Jiri & the interwebs

Hello, I'm Jiri Jerabek.

Doing

I manage a team of amazing Product Designers at Intuit UK, looking after QuickBooks Online. The other two things why I love my job are: Intuit is probably the most customer-centric organisation on this planet, and has truly inspiring employee-oriented culture.

Previously: Telegraph's lead UX for Mobile, Interaction Designer for the BBC Research & Development IRFS, POSSIBLE (WPP) and elsewhere.

Outside of work, I'm a husband to one amazing wife and dad to two little humans. I love hiking, snorcheling, windsurfing, reading, technology and design.

Feeling

I'm passionate amateur photographer. After short affair with 35mm and 645 film I'm back to digital, mainly due to practicality.
