In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and innovation, I believe there’s a profound opportunity—to harness our skills, our creativity, and our expertise for the betterment of society.

This belief is the driving force behind OPNdesign, a dynamic collective of designers, engineers, and artists who share a passion for crafting impactful experiences.

With over two decades of software design and development expertise, we don’t just create digital solutions; we aspire to shape a brighter future where technology becomes a force for good.

We’re nestled in the heart of Prague, Czech Republic, and we’re here to tell you about our philosophy.

Our Beginnings

My journey into the world of design and engineering started after high school, with a year of internship and training in Calgary, Canada. There, I had the privilege of working with Wycliffe Bible Translators, where I dabbled in web development, honing my skills in CSS and HTML.

Little did I know that this experience would lay the foundation for a career dedicated to using technology for a greater purpose.

But it was my professional career that truly took off with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), where I developed a profound love for technology and a strong commitment to making a meaningful impact on the world.

During this time I met Christina, my co-founder, who shares this passion wholeheartedly. Together, we embarked on a mission to combine our technical expertise with our desire to empower those striving to improve the world.

With our technical expertise and a deep-seated desire to empower those who strive to improve the world, we established OPNdesign.

Our vision was clear: to create a company where creativity, innovation, and purpose would unite to shape a better tomorrow.

Our Multifaceted Approach

Our multifaceted approach encompasses a wide range of digital services, including branding, UX/UI design, web development, app development, digital storytelling, and digital strategy. But what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to using these skills to drive positive change.

Our process is a testament to our dedication, built on four pillars:

1. Research: We believe that research is the key to uncovering valuable insights that drive success. Whether it’s understanding a client’s mission or delving deep into the challenges faced by NGOs and businesses, we leave no stone unturned.

2. Ideation: Fueling innovation is the heart of our work. We generate ideas that transform into powerful Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), which serve as the bedrock for meaningful change.

3. Development and QA: Building and testing with precision are the cornerstones of our work. The goal is to deliver flawless results that have a real impact.

4. Rollout: We ensure a smooth and successful launch for our creations. This is where our digital solutions truly come to life, ready to make a difference.

Collaboration for Impact

One of the hallmarks of our approach is collaboration. By partnering with NGOs and programs, we provide the technical and digital expertise that these organizations often lack. Together, we complement each other’s skills, creating a powerful synergy that drives positive change.

Projects with Purpose

Our collaboration with international organizations represents a significant commitment to addressing critical issues that impact our global community. These projects are currently in progress, showcasing our dedication to working hand in hand with international partners.

1. Child Human Trafficking Awareness: We envision an interactive platform that empowers teachers, parents, and caregivers to educate children about this critical issue. Through engaging content, interactive quizzes, and awareness-building tools, we aim to equip both adults and children with the knowledge to identify and respond to potential threats, ultimately enhancing the safety and well-being of children and teenagers.

2. AI in Education: In the realm of education, we plan to provide educators with best practices and resources on utilizing AI effectively. Workshops and guides will demystify AI, empowering educators to leverage this transformative technology to enhance the learning experience.

3. Enhancing Digital Skills and Innovation: This project aims to boost digital skills and innovation among educators. We intend to provide the knowledge and tools needed to create engaging educational videos, aligning with Erasmus’s goal of fostering digital literacy and innovation in education.

These projects are at the heart of our commitment to using design and engineering as powerful tools for positive change. We believe that by addressing these critical issues and collaborating with international partners, we can contribute to a safer, more innovative, and better-educated world.

A Vision for a Brighter Tomorrow

Our work doesn’t stop at the completion of these projects. Our long-term vision is to see these platforms and resources expand, reaching more schools and institutions, and becoming integral parts of educational curricula.

The Message

My message is clear: There is always an option to use your skills for a greater good. In our case, we use design and engineering to partner with organizations and programs that focus on helping communities. It’s a philosophy that embodies the transformative power of technology when coupled with a passionate commitment to humanity.
