Got a sec? Storytime!

I was born and grew up in the heart of Europe, Slovakia. I spent my childhood drawing, playing musical instruments, dancing and learning about random facts from encyclopaedias (I’m still obsessed with random facts so if you have any interesting ones, PLEASE don’t hesitate to contact me and tell me about it. Seriously.)

In my early years (3–10) I was planning on becoming an archaeologist and discovering the lost city of Atlantis, later an FBI agent and saving the world, and finally, an architect – so I started my architecture journey at the Slovak University of Technology.

By a series of small, fortunate events I ended up coming across a job opening and landing a job as a junior designer at a boutique design agency in Bratislava, where I started learning and falling in love with UX, UI and product design.

8 Years of working with design agencies, software development companies and clients from all around the world helped me grow into a T-shaped designer who quickly adapts across various domains, defines problems, finds solutions, iterates and ships work that my clients and I feel confident in.

My craft sits at the intersection of user experience design and visual storytelling, while always keeping consistency, systems and data in mind.

Currently based near Valencia, Spain looking for my next adventure.
