The people who see it through.

Co-founder and CEO

Jan Lochman

He runs the company and its technical side. Originally a theoretical physicist: he studied mathematical physics at FNSPE CTU in Prague and worked on data analysis in particle physics at CERN. He then developed software for laboratory instruments and, as CTO, led the development of algorithmic trading systems. Most recently he built a gaming platform, where the seed of what we do at Whaleden today was planted.

“Good stories can come from anywhere. Having the idea isn't the hard part – the hard part is turning it into something real and giving it room to grow.”

Co-founder and art director

Jitka Lochmanová Janoušková

She leads the visual side of everything Whaleden puts out, from the first storyboard to print. For Moral Code she prepared the storyboard, designed the logo and lettering and oversees proofreading. She wrote Excoms and did the lettering for Dracula 2168. She has 21 years behind her in design, video and illustration for more than 65 brands, among them Prague Airport, Sazka and Czech Airlines. She also founded the creative studio Joisi in Prague.

“The strongest stories exist long before they become comics, books or films.”
