I am a designer and marketer specializing in minimalism, sustainability, and a strategic approach to product design. My work integrates thorough market research with the creation of functional and aesthetically refined products that align with both customer needs and brand identity. I focus on using natural materials such as wood, leather, metal, stone, and ceramics, with a strong commitment to ecological responsibility throughout the product lifecycle. In addition to product design, I work on branding, web, and graphic design, emphasizing the synergy between visual identity and marketing strategy. I enjoy collaborating with companies and creators who share my vision of combining design, functionality, and effective communication.

Completed projects

Project	Upcyklované dřevěné doplňky
Client	Atelier Paletky s.r.o.
Year	2021
Description	In this collaboration with Atelier Paletky, I designed and produced prototypes of several wooden products made from single-use pallets. This project focused on upcycling waste wood, specifically exotic woods from various parts of the world such as Japanese cedar, larch, mahogany, merbau, bubinga, and many others. My main goal was to transform these diverse materials into sustainable and functional products. Each piece is designed to highlight the unique character of the used wood species, while also contributing to ecological sustainability through recycling and reuse. For production, I not only utilized wood from pallets but also pallet nails and leather elements derived from offcuts from large-scale production.
