Hi, I’m Braňo Šandala.
I turn bold product ideas
into thriving businesses.
Designing a global
B2B SaaS from 0 to 1
As a founding team member, I brought Kentico Kontent from an abstract idea (2015) to its scaling (2019), creating a million-dollar business for a company.
Making a love brand
in 4 months
A client hired me to create a visual identity and establish a brand of the emerging festival. After four months of sleepless nights, 8000 people visited, performed, or participated in the week-long festival.
Building an NPO to cherish Rusyn culture
Since 2011, I’ve produced 10+ creative projects in the family non-profit organization to promote and cherish vibrant Rusyn culture among the younger audience.
Open-source ecosystem to fix microtypography
One line at a time, I’ve created a set of open-source tools to auto-fix the common typos that otherwise require an attentive eye and knowledge of local typography rules.
I’ve done mix of projects over 10+ years and here’s what these lovely people say about my work:
I truly appreciate working with Brano for the last nine months. He helps us setting up the innovation culture and processes; he’s also involved in new product ideas as a UX researcher and designer. Brano grasps customers’ needs rather quickly. He always brings a fresh perspective to the problem at hand by asking the right questions—so no challenge remains unsolved after discussing it with Brano.
I work with people, startups, and software companies to:
- validate product ideas,
- conduct customer research,
- set scalable product strategy,
- design digital products.
Let’s do a project, a workshop, or mentoring.
