About
Hi! I'm Pavel and I've been making digital things since 2001, usually spending way too long on details that might seem pointless to others. Like emotional rating systems or making sure a clock app feels just right.
Most of my work lives in the space between useful and unusual. Quirky tools that do their job with personality. Everything is built solo from the first idea to the final release.
