Brief Summary
I am a Prague-based freelance illustrator and graphic designer with extensive experience with design in print and digital.
Since my education, I have worked with big corporations, non-profits, small companies, or individuals. In the past 20 years, I designed, illustrated, and art-directed magazines from lifestyle to finance, books, identities, campaigns for several events that include culture festivals, conferences, or film screenings (Manifesto Market, Human rights film festival, Nike, etc.). Usually, as a design full-service, starting from scratch and sailing to the final line with printed ads, videos, web banners.
Meanwhile, I publish my artworks under the curious moniker FunkFu at www.funkfu.net and in my diary on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/funkfu/.
