I studied product design at Academy of Arts Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM), where I graduated with a master degree. I had an opportunity to study at Sheffield Hallam University in Great Britain and at University of Gothenburg in Sweden via Erasmus.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

I work as a material consultant for mat\u00e9riO\u2019 Prague with focus on ecodesign and biobased materials. I research new materials, conduct seminars and write articles on materials and crafts. I am also an educator. I coordinate two-semester subject Materiology at UMPRUM for mat\u00e9riO\u2019 Prague. And I am a workshop instructor for organization Design\u00e9\u0159i D\u011btem.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

I conduct workshops focused on materials and design.\u00a0<\/span>Last but not least, I became a grower a few years ago. My surname means something like a garden bed in Czech. I grow flax and carry out material experiments with this immensely useful crop. To think big but act small, I founded a self-service shop Samoobchod N\u00edtovice in South Bohemia to sell local farming products.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
