It seems everything has been already discovered on the surface of our planet. What more can we do, than to dive into the ocean of our imagination and ideas and try to make some them real to contribute to our environment diversity? Architecture and design offer one of the best ways how to achieve it. Therefore I decided to become an architect. As a true professional I wanted to start literally from the groundwork, so I took my first part-time jobs at various construction sites. This enabled me to understand qualities of different building materials and gave me knowledge how to use them. Practice had prepared field for theory, so I studied technically oriented architecture.

As for my personal characteristics, I feel like critical realist with optimistic vision. I firmly believe there is always a way – whenever there is a will. We only have to find the right direction and appropriate means of transport. In my designer work I like to combine latest technology with traditional materials, especially wood.

I also firmly believe everything goes better with a smile, not only in the one’s face, but also in mind. My family and friends keep me permanently in the good mood. I try to dedicate them every free moment possible. I also like to interrupt an endless stream of designing ideas for architecture or expositions by good movies or unconventional beverages and food degustation.
