About me
As a Master's graduate in Architecture, designing for me means going beyond mere aesthetics and finding architectural solutions to social, urban, and ecological challenges. I combine creative visions with functional reality and the existing context, whether it’s an urban environment or a historic building. My approach is to develop, above all, future-proof and sustainable concepts that have a lasting impact. For me, working with existing structures is an essential part of this process. Over the years, I have come to appreciate analyzing and preserving old building stock while integrating elements that create a new identity.
As a working student in architecture firms, I have primarily contributed to competitions. The creative process and the challenge of developing the best concepts have motivated me and strengthened my ability to work precisely and purposefully, even under pressure. What sets me apart is my commitment and passion for every project. I am always open to new ideas and respond flexibly to various requirements.
As an Olympian with the national hockey team, I have internalized discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—qualities that help me in every area of life. I firmly believe that the best projects are created together. The experience of successfully completing my Master’s thesis during intense Olympic preparation showed me that I can stay focused and perform at my best, even during demanding times.
