I am an artist and animator based in Plzeň and Prague. I graduated from the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art, where I completed a master’s degree in Animation while also studying jewelry making with a focus on metals and mineral stones. In my work, I combine traditional craftsmanship with digital media – creating original animations, music videos, and visual projects for music bands.
