I am an illustrator, comic artist and graphic designer based in Pardubice, Czech Republic. I live there with my husband, our border collie and our cat.
I am a creative addict, up for any challenge who enjoys doing illustration, comic art, character design, posters and expressions.

In between freelancing, I love working on my personal art, my own long-term comic project Salty Business (Slanej Byznys), creating stories (my fantasy book project Elrean) and designing original characters (especially pirates) and creatures.
I also enjoy trying out new art supplies, filling my sketchbook, training my dog, reading books, studying history (medieval, pirate and warfare), listening to music and jogging.
