As a child, my favourite toys were a pencil and paper— I could spend hours sitting quietly and drawing. Although my early sketches were never preserved, it was clear to everyone what my future might look like.

After completing my Master’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism in Slovakia, my professional journey took me from Bratislava to Prague and later to Vancouver, shaped by a strong curiosity for culture, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for place. My path reflects a desire to learn from different cultures, landscapes, and architectural traditions. I value architecture that responds sensitively to context and community, and that listens carefully to the land and its stories. I feel especially grateful to contribute to an Indigenous-led studio in Vancouver, where design becomes a shared dialogue rooted in respect, learning, and responsibility.

Despite my international experience, I feel deeply connected to my roots in Slavic folklore, which continue to inform my design thinking and appreciation for craft, nature, and narrative.

Beyond architecture, I love exploring new places, spending time outdoors, and finding beauty in small, everyday details. Road trips, multi-day hikes, snowboarding, or attending a dance class are activities that can always make my day.
