I am a Queensland-based designer with over two decades of experience across ballet, contemporary dance, new music, opera, theatre, and film.
I hold a BA in Fashion Design from the University of Liberec and an MA in Theatre Set and Costume Design from Janá?ek Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno, Czech Republic. I earned a Master of Visual Arts with High Distinction from QUT in Brisbane, where I am currently researching Embodied Art and Technology.
My work merges form with function through a strong, symbolic aesthetic. Informed by design anthropology, my practice bridges traditional knowledge with contemporary frameworks to create transformative, participatory experiences.
I believe objects, touch, body, experience and visual storytelling can transcend languages.
