Experienced UX writer with 20+ years in journalism and copywriting, crafting clear, user-focused product text.
What I'm looking for
I am a UX writer with over 20 years of writing experience spanning journalism, copywriting and product content, based in Prague since 2000. I create clear, user-focused English copy for digital products, with recent work including content for the Myškoda app and development of a style guide.
I collaborate closely with designers, translators and product teams to ensure consistent terminology, the right tone of voice and a human touch in messages, including major error-message revisions and translation workflows across 30 languages. I use tools such as Figma and Phrase and draw on my background in journalism and content marketing to shape compelling, on-brand copy that supports UX goals.
I value teamwork, attention to detail and pragmatic solutions that balance design and copy needs, and I bring experience advising colleagues, strengthening translation processes and driving content improvements that support product clarity and user trust.
