I do branding, brand strategy and web design for early-stage companies. I enjoy working on projects related to FemTech, kid's products, AI tools, web3,fashion, venture capital, and the future of work.
I spent the last 10+ years between product and brand design.
Which, I guess, means that I could say:
I make things people like
& I make people like things.
Previously, I was a design lead at IDEO, a wedding photographer, and an industrial design student. Careers are weird and non-linear sometimes!
Based in Prague, CZ

I enjoy working with optimistic, visionary, collaborative founders. With my generalist design skillset and get-things-done mindset, I can add the most value in the 0 → 1 phase of building a new venture.
