Designer, developer and problem solver
For more than a decade I have helped startups and established brands turn fuzzy ideas into sharp, working websites.
/ My Story
Design that turns complex ideas into simple, elegant interfaces
I’m Elena Novak, a UI/UX designer and no-code developer based in Ostrava, Czechia. My work sits where brand, motion and interface meet — I design identities and websites that feel effortless because every detail was decided on purpose.
I started in print and typography, moved into web design in 2016, and have spent the last ten years designing portfolio sites, SaaS products and e-commerce experiences for clients across Europe and beyond.
Today I work independently with a small circle of clients each year, which means every project gets my full attention — from the first workshop to launch day and everything after.
