I worked as a Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director for 23 years in New York City, where I had the opportunity to work for leading corporations such as Brooks Brothers, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Chanel, and Scott Kay. My design experience is across various industries, including apparel, fashion, makeup, skincare, luxury goods, jewelry, finance, automotive aftermarket accessories, and rail transportation. In addition to graphic design, I provide artistic direction to photographers, videographers, and stylists.
2014, I moved to Portland, OR, where I worked for Bushwacker. Two years later, Lund International acquired the company, and I accepted a relocation package to Atlanta, GA. Along with graphic design, I also managed an employee in photography and videography. In 2022, Norfolk Southern’s Communication Director approached me on LinkedIn and offered me the Design Manager position. Norfolk Southern terminated my employment two years later due to a workforce reduction and restructuring.
I bring my employers the best in clean and modern design sensibility, high-end aesthetics, and a deep understanding of corporate culture and global business.
Prague, Czech Republic, is my birthplace. I am bilingual and have always been passionate about art and travel. In my free time, I hand-build ceramic vessels using coiling and paint them. I quickly adapt to new environments, industries, and projects and have a unique flair for successfully managing junior designers. I am a self-motivated self-starter who is flexible, dependable, and detail-oriented in producing high-quality work. I pride myself on staying up to date with the latest trends in design and technology.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cleveland State University with a Dean’s Recommendation of Honor. Additionally, I am a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and was a runner-up in the 2017 Marta Hackathon: Rider Experience and Design Thinking competition.
I currently live in New York City.
