All you need to know
Taking smooth journey from data through users insights into concept and final design magic is my cup of tea. Always the right attitude, high empathy and curiosity, that is how I want to be perceived. I try to keep up with the trends as well as learning about the history and cultures.
I also do road cycling, play ultimate frisbee and keep learning new languages.
about me
In 2020 I graduated with honors the Masters in Design at the Slovak University of Technology.
Since 2018 I am working as Interaction and Experience designer in automotive industry, and working on my personal research projects as a doctoral student.
Alongside my studies I experienced various art, design and culture oriented projects and internships which widen my horizons and extended my knowledge not just in design.
MX LAB researcher
september 2020 - now
in Bratislava, SVK / everywhere
The Laboratory for Multidisciplinary Research and Experience Design at the Faculty of Architecture and Design in Bratislava is a vertical studio and research workplace focused on design research and development in the rapidly changing field of personal mobility.
Researchers focus on various fields of design, especially the emerging digital tools and their implementation into design processes.
My research is focused on experience design and innovative interactions. Since my masters studies I am questioning the way we think about interfaces, how we talk about them, how we design and test them and where they are heading to. In my doctoral research I am researching invisible interactions. In my work within the lab and students I am focusing on agile interdisciplinary design process and on the importance of the visual quality of experience in design.
Flowers for Slovakia
september 2021
in Trnava/Bratislava/Prague, SVK/CZ
The idea to tell the story of Slovak culture via the unconvetional means of contemporary design, originates from project’s authors Lars Kemper and Peter Olah. Since 2009 the association of Flowers for Slovakia has produced 4 exhibition projects.
In 2021 I participated as one of the artists creating the collection inspired by the culinary history of Slovakia - focusing on a bread making as a fragile and participatory process of Slovak households in history and renewed in post-pandemic times. The object was created in collaboration with craft makers. I also had a chance to be a part of set design team for the photoshoot and exhibitions.
The project was presented in Slovak Design Week and Prague Design Blok.

Being a part of advanced UX/UI team in European Changan design Center I had a chance to contribute to several projects, supporting other teams: design strategy, design management, CMF design, interior and exterior design. Creating complex experience concepts for production and innovation projects, including user stroryboards, project USPs etc. Creating experience and interaction concepts from the HMI layout and ideation, to finished UI prototypes and designs. Forecasting 7+ years in automotive design products and processes. Being team member of showcar design and production team.
Diploma internship
november 2019 - may 2020
in Mladá Boleslav, Czechia
Through the cooperation between my University design department and ŠKODA Design we completed our 4 years long relationship with ŠKODA by internship in the Interior Design - HMI department. We took the challenge to focus on incorporation of Experience Design approach from the very early stage of automotive interior design process through color and trim solutions until the interaction concept.
"...I evaluate the work as a pioneering act and a convincing demonstration of user-centered innovation..."
"...the work is an ambitious attempt of intersection the XD methods and traditional automotive design..."

Internship in XDLab
april 2019 - august 2019
in Potsdam / Germany
Volkswagens´ Future Center Europe is a place where concepts are being created by all design teams working together. The idea from Research or Interaction Design team had the same value and priority as the side view of the exterior design of designed concept vehicle. This approach really teaches how to align with others and how to make compromises, or how to make the idea as strong that convinces everybody else.
Experience Design Lab was newly forming team under the vehicle design department led by Peter Wouda. The role of a team was keep an eye on strategy, technology innovation and user experience throughout the whole design process of new concepts. As the first intern for this XDLab team, my amazing colleagues gave me enough responsibilities to feel as an integral part of a team, which made it really hard to leave.
HMI & research internship
march 2018 - march 2019
in Wolfsburg, Germany
Work in an interdisciplinary team challenges every member to push the skills from their own field to the limits - because there is nobody else who would do their part. Being the only designer in a team made my internship full of learning from the masters of research - human factors experts, psychologists, user experience researchers, engineers and many other skilled colleagues. Together with my team we worked on the guidelines for inclusive car HMI for the future customers of higher age, we designed mobile air-humidifier as vehicle accessory and thought about HMI for a range - planning the electric vehicles.
Hackathon attendee
february 2017 / october 2019
in Czech Republic / Slovakia
Hackathon is an innovative format that brings together experts from various fields in order to solve a specific problem of companies or local governments. Over the course of 24 or 48 hours, interdisciplinary teams use their experience and skills to devise and present their plans to improve the given problems.
In 2017 I participated in Hackathon in Prague, organized in cooperation with Škoda DigiLab, on topic of smart mobility in connected cities of today and tomorrow.
In 2019 I attended "Heci k Veci" in Trnava/Slovakia, where we were supposed to help local polyclinic.
august 2018 - september 2018
