ABOUT ME

I am a footwear designer and researcher with cross functional experience in the fields of 3D design and footwear development, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, last design and pattern making.

Over the years, my passion for footwear has led me to marathon running, lecturing and even conducting my own research projects.

I am currently located in Brno, Czech Republic.
