Originally from Prague, I am a Designer and Artist whose practice is informed by design anthropology—merging traditional knowledge with contemporary frameworks to create transformative, participatory experiences.
My work is marked by a strong, symbolic aesthetic that merges form with function, sharing and shaping culturally informed design solutions for broader impact.
I hold degrees in Education, Fashion Design, Theatre Set and Costume Design, and Visual Arts (with High Distinction). My Masters thesis, recognised as an outstanding dissertation by Janacek University, was devoted to Seagull by A. P. Chekhov, deconstructing alchemy and symbolism and interweaving them with contemporary issues; threading the link between the past, present and the cyclical nature of human behaviour.
Drawing from Indigenous mythologies, material wisdom, and technological possibilities, I pursue projects that invite physical engagement and personal transformation.
