Hi, I’m Štěpán Hlucháň. I’m a versatile marketing, graphic designer and localization project management professional with international experience across the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. I specialize in end-to-end localization, media production, and marketing campaigns, with a hands-on approach and a knack for building strong client relationships.
I enjoy turning complex requirements into practical solutions, leading cross-functional teams, and driving first-time-right delivery. In my spare time I love cooking, nature photography, welding, and exploring new music ideas.
