About Me
I am a footwear designer and researcher with expertise in 3D design, footwear development, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, shoe last design, and pattern making. My passion for footwear design leads me into multidisciplinary fields including footwear research, lecturing, and even ultramarathon running.
Currently living in Brno, Czech Republic, and Cham, Germany.
