I am a Czech-Australian Scenographer and Visual Artist based in Queensland. My practice is informed by design anthropology—merging traditional knowledge with contemporary frameworks to create transformative, participatory experiences marked by a strong, symbolic aesthetic.

Education & Research

I hold degrees in Education, Fashion Design, Theatre Set and Costume Design from Janacek Academy and Visual Arts with High Distinction (QUT). My Masters thesis, recognised as an outstanding dissertation by Janacek University, examined The Seagull by A. P. Chekhov—deconstructing alchemy and symbolism in relation to contemporary issues and the cyclical nature of human behaviour.

Approach

Drawing from Indigenous mythologies, material wisdom and technological possibilities, I pursue projects and research that invite physical engagement and personal transformation.

I believe objects, touch, body, experience and visual storytelling can transcend languages.
