About
challenge - creativity - enthusiasm
Currently I am studying towards a Masters Degree at the Studio of Product Design Faculty of Arts and Design UJEP in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. At the same time I undertook my second academic year at Loughborough University in the 3D Design New Practice program at the School of the Arts. At present I am doing an internship in Ilsa Parry Design Studio / Rethinkthings LDT in Liverpool.
My design focus is always to consider basic human needs. My goal is to take our everyday experiences and make them more pleasurable by combining innovative design with eco- friendly and economical materials. I use traditional design methods such as sketching and modelling in workshops alongside the software as well as manufacturing technologies and experimenting with materials.
My dream is to gain as many opportunities as possible, and to be able to run my own design studio helping people live easier lives and fulfil their dreams.
