General info
Brooklyn, NY
I am a Czech born graphic designer currently living and working in Brooklyn.
I have experience working in design studios as well as an independent designer in the United States and in Europe. I specialize in CID, logos and branding, but I'm eager to work on any graphic design project and I enjoy spending time on projects dealing with social, cultural and ecological issues.
I'm honored to be a recipient of several international design awards and my work has been published in many industry magazines and books.
