Data products at Ataccama
Designing the data trust layer for enterprise AI.
Filip Zajíc
Product designer.
In complex systems, what's broken rarely shows up where you're looking. The work is reading the whole thing, finding where it actually resists, and moving fast once you see it.
I thrive on independence and experimentation, keeping a toolbox of methods, frameworks, and AI tools and stitching together whatever the problem needs.
I've spent my career in B2B products — currently designing at Ataccama, previously at Productboard. I want to take this experience and build at a much earlier stage next.
Selected projects

A multidisciplinary design education at one of Europe's leading design schools.
What people say about me
"Filip is the kind of designer who goes and solves."
Pavel Hamřík, managed Filip at Ataccama · 2026
When we hired Filip, it was a campaign. The team pushed to bring him in, and I wasn't sure it was the right call, he had limited experience for the role, and the road ahead was going to be demanding. That uncertainty didn't last long; and did we get lucky!
Filip is the kind of designer who goes and solves. He worked on novel implementations of data products and data governance concepts within Ataccama's agentic platform, a technically hard territory where he managed to absorb technological context while advocating for the customer as one of the strongest voices on the team.
He earned the trust of his design teammates quickly by being self-sufficient while knowing when to ask for guidance. And when collaboration gets difficult, when the other side isn't meeting him halfway, he'll do the work to build trust anyway. Filip is passionate about customers and the problems he's solving for them, and understands that this often means doing the unglamorous work to get it right.
Filip treats the community around the craft as part of the job, not a side quest. He brings an international network he actively taps for insights. He advocates for the company, shows up in hiring, represents the team outward.
He's also unusually observant and self-reflective, which creates feedback loops most people don't build until much later in their careers. His recent promotion reflects that trajectory.
Filip is a novel kind of person. Working with him often made me think our future just might be bright.
"He's on a trajectory to become an exceptional designer."
Zdeněk Kunčar, Head of Design @ Apify, was Filip's mentor at Productboard · 2023
I'm happy to recommend Filip, who was the very first Design intern at Productboard. Throughout the year, he demonstrated an ability to navigate uncharted territories as the organization didn't have an official internship program in place.
One of Filip's most impressive qualities was his high level of self-awareness and introspection. He approached every task diligently, understanding the goal, thinking about his approach. He was proactively reaching out to check in with me, his mentor. This helped him learn quickly and build up his confidence.
Filip was not afraid to take on new challenges, work in a few different areas and with different product teams at Productboard. He was able to improve his hard skills and deliver quality designs in a matter of months. He was social and built relationships not just in the Design team, but across the whole organization.
Filip is a talented designer who is able to produce great work by leaning on the team and leveraging more senior colleagues, seeking feedback and guidance. He's effective and his collaboration skills were a key factor in his success. He's on a trajectory to become an exceptional designer.
I'd be happy to work with Filip again.
