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.
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.
Online tool to design product palettes
I’ve built an online tool to speed up the design of an accessible color palette for complex digital products.
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.
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.
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.
