Nikolai Prettner

Originally from Austria, I’ve spent the last 17 years living, studying, and working in Malaysia. My passion for self-learning has allowed me to design, develop, and market my own projects, which has made me highly efficient in roles that require an understanding of both development and marketing.

For the past 8 years, I co-founded and led design at Omnilytics, a fashion data analytics company, and Shoppr, a fashion e-commerce app. Working closely with these startups taught me not only about design but also the ins and outs of marketing, operations, and development. By immersing myself in a fast-paced environment, I’ve become adept at managing tight deadlines and tailoring my designs to meet the technical limitations and timelines of development teams.

I’m comfortable working hands-on with development teams to implement designs, and I’m equally experienced in using marketing tools like Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, and HubSpot. Before diving into the startup world, I created best-selling Android themes and helped build a 30,000-strong community of Android customization enthusiasts.

I speak german natively and english professionally.
