My background spans Prague and New Zealand, with some exciting times at Victoria University of Wellington and New Zealand Customs. These influences have shaped me into the designer and colleague I am today.

My work as a design journey has been far from conventional. I'm proud to be part of New Zealand's vibrant digital design scene.

From humble beginnings, few would have foreseen my career in digital design. It's been a demanding but ultimately fulfilling path, forged through hard work, overcoming setbacks and a deep passion for creating meaningful experiences. This portfolio presents my story through some of my key design projects.
