I'm a multidisciplinary designer, web developer and artist based between Prague/Berlin. My practice spans code, design, speculative research and contemporary art.

Much of my development work lies at the intersection of design and building; I'm self-taught and have been coding since 2018. I started with CMS-based websites and gradually moved toward Next.js and more custom builds: front-end and back-end systems, forms, interactive maps, audio-reactive visuals, font tools, data visualisations, digitalisation processes. Working as full-stack dev, I realised I actually enjoy the back-end side more; figuring out structure, logic, and how a site holds together over time. I like web projects where the site is not a static presentation but a working system: a platform, an archive, a tool. I learned to code before AI. Now I use it to move further into apps, Python, electronics, and similar areas.

In recent years I have come to understand that I am more drawn to the practical side of making; my interests have been shifting toward the technical side of production: 3D modeling, scanning and printing, licensed drone work, app development, electronics, AI research, and the tools and processes behind making. Not to step away from design, but to broaden what I can make and the tools I use, and to stay close to the technological condition of the present, where platforms, power and infrastructure shape the everyday life.

Together with Petra Popnagelová, I form one half of Eight G, a curatorial platform based in Berlin. I am also drawn to working within the art market more broadly; moving in the scene, installing shows, selling work and caring for it.

I'm interested to work within a collective or team on larger projects where many people bring different things to the table. That is the context where I feel most happy, rather than pursuing a solo path as an exhibiting artist, but I work independently just as well.

Some of my work is not public and lives behind an unlisted link. Feel free to reach out if you want to see more or talk about a project in detail.
