The lead designer at Tapdaq tells us about his digital products and his nomadic lifestyle

The lead designer at Tapdaq (tapdaq. com), which is an in-app advertising platform, Jan Losert (janlosert.com) has covered a lot of ground since dropping out of university in 2011. That’s not solely in terms of his career though, but also in terms of the actual miles that he has travelled whilst working; he’s an incorrigible global traveller who works almost entirely remotely.
We were lucky enough to pin him down, just days before he set off on a two month round-the-world trip, and ask him about his work, his product-design process, his sideline in digital products and of course his nomadic lifestyle; here’s what he had to say.
Can you tell us a bit about your professional background?
I’m originally from Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, where I’m currently living now. I started working in design at the age of 18 when I used to play with photo manipulation in Photoshop. I dropped out from university after three weeks and I then decided to try my luck in design as a freelancer. Long story short: for the last four years I have been in a constant process of designing dashboards and applications. I have learned a lot about how to deal with different approaches in order to make product designs both better and more efficient.
