Experienced graphic designer focused on creating visually strong and functional designs, particularly in packaging and retail.

My creative process is based on thorough research and a broad understanding of both Czech and Western markets – I track competitors, consumer demand, trends, POS solutions, consumer insights, and brand naming (CZ/EN).

I value teamwork and open dialogue in finding the best design solutions. From the initial concept stage, I work with 3D visualization and, when needed, use illustration, animation, mock-ups, and product photography.

Adaptable to changing project requirements. Advanced expertise in typography, branding, and visual storytelling.
Experienced user of Adobe Creative Suite; fluent in English.
