Virtual architecture.
When I designing virtual architecture, I am often inspired by organic architecture in combination with plants. I am fascinated by the combination of hi-tech motifs such as holograms, digitality and natural scenery. ⤻

Physical installations
Connecting the real and multimedia worlds is both a challenge and a unique opportunity to create a unique experience. I plan to focus more on this area in the future. For now, I've had the opportunity to work on designing physical objects and exhibits and digital installations that have been integrated with other experiences such as virtual reality or music production. ⤻

PILSEN 2015 European Capital of Culture
"Pilsen is not just beer", "Open up Pilsen", "Open up your Pilsen paradise !" the idea of a didactic cut with a pint of beer was on the table. Imaginative collaboration with creative director Petr Hanousek.

Webdesign
In elementary school we had a brave young teacher who taught us the basics of html and turbo-pascal programming as kids in the elective "Computers". Back then we wanted to play Age of Empires or Doom rather than learn. But after a while, thanks to this teacher, I found my way to web design. One of the first projects I tried to create was a virtual < html > VRML walk around our town.

2000 - Start of my studies
In 2000 came to the decision that I could study and then work in the construction industry. I mean, that's where the drawing is...After my experience with creating project documents and things like descriptive geometry, statics, mechanics, geodesy and study of drawing with pencil monge projection...This idea has left me fast.
