I created the artwork for OCAD’s Onsite Gallery window space. I was instructed to create an impact with different colours and materials, to draw attention and excitement for Onsite Gallery’s re-opening on 199 Richmond St. W. Toronto

The creation of the art piece began when TD bank contacted me to create a piece that aligns with their new "Wellness" certification, which is all about a work environment that meets certain standards for air quality, water, lighting etc. The certification also includes art and visuals, so the team asked to create something with a "natural", "wellness" feel.

I drew inspiration from flora and fauna found in different natural habitats and capturing the essence and visceral feeling of nature with imagination and playfulness.

Objects of Desire is an installation for Lèche Vitrine - an artistic window display at Open Sesame in Kitchener ON, where every 4 months a new artist is asked to create a piece.

Objects of Desire shows a world, a composition that has objects and things, where the viewer is unsure of what they are or what they do; abstract in form and function in their glossy, shiny state. They could act as a metaphor for consumerist culture, and how design/advertising industries can convince consumers to purchase things they don't need so well.

The creation of the piece came from finding inspiration in my own consumerist choices. Being attracted to objects for their sense of creating an immediate feeling of satisfaction, joy, pleasure. I went to Ikea and found this effect when purchasing useless vases, or going to the dollar store and purchasing things for their texture, like bouncy balls, slimy play-do, glitter pens... etc etc. 

Lèche Vitrine is a collaboration with CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area), made possible with the support of the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.

Designed an installation for Drake One Fifty, incorporating collage techniques using digital tools. The design combines art deco elements, textures and colours found inside the restaurant, along with paint textures and food. The connection between art and food is playfully shown in the piece. The artwork was created into a further extension for The Drake Catering for a series of artwork to be installed on catering trucks.

With the passing of my grandmother, the premise behind this book was to create a compilation of memories through photography and writing that could be passed down to generations.

My mother and sister Marianna and Veronika were also involved in the help of writing this piece, which was both a beautiful way to reveal certain memories about our grandmother my sister and I hadn’t even known. 

The story began in Slovakia where she was born, and the 1960s carried on into life in communist Czechoslovakia with my grandmother and mother, and then ended in Canada. the design of the book was focused on maintaining importance to the images, and the writing helped aid and carry on the narrative, inserting key spreads throughout the book. 

The design is done in two languages, where each language is a different colour for easy differentiation, with callout moments showing certain phrases my grandmother was known for saying.

The success of this project came from how personal and close the project became to us, through scanning old photographs found in her apartment, and going through letters and letters that she wrote to Canada during communist Czechoslovakia. 

The artwork for The Drake's catering division was created as an extension of The Drake One Fifty piece. 

Drawing inspiration from food and culture, I created a set of playful and colourful collages that would look unique and stand out on catering vehicles for a distinct look and feel. 

Created an installation for design studio Him and Her, which involved visualizing the elements of art and design in a playful way. Line, texture, colour, value, shape and space were shown in different areas of the piece and collaged together with everyday materials and arranged based on each element.

I designed four large digital pieces that covered the areas of wall space inside Burl’s Barn at Way Home Music Festival. The designs were created digitally, with a handmade screen-printed layer on top. The content of the artwork was a fantasy/playful compilation of collaged elements together that gave a visceral and emotional effect. The elements were inspired by the natural setting of the music festival that were emphasized through imagination and music. 

Inspired by our fascination and relationship with plant life, the piece exhibits a fictional world of alien or extraterrestrial flora fauna. Building on worlds of play and fantasy, the piece explores the uncanny confusion between real and fake plants, creating transfixing and illogical renderings and environments. The elements and pieces are taken from nature and combined with screen printed layers and graphic elements. 

The City of Kitchener contacted me to create the branding, and the visual look and feel for the DTKSummer 18’ programming. The programming includes various free events that happen between June and August ranging from music, art, yoga and education. The goal behind the project was to create a brand system that would attract many people to attend the free events, and to immediately associate the branding to the event. 

I developed a brand that was based on my screen print designs, and then used the different patterns to inform and develop a system of patterns that are bright, fun whimsical. 

Myself along with my classmates, worked on the manual for the RGD Design Educator’s Conference 2013 that York University hosted. Together the concept, look, printing, laser-cutting were all done in house. Myself and Emmie Tsumura were in charge of coming up with the initial look of the manual. During later stages on production, we put together over 100 books in uniquely designed folders and name tags. The team included: Malika Soin, Emmie Tsumura, Krishna Balakrishnan, Philippe Jean, Christine Chiou, Marie-Noelle Hebert, Mala’a Alamoudi, and myself. 

Created a series of large posters which were both digitally created and screen printed. The piece explored research from my master’s thesis on play using distorted, scanned, photography, collaged together with screen printed layers of colour and typography.

Flow Festival is the branding of an art and fashion festival using paint textures and bright colours to visualize excitement and energy.  

Laura from LH Style Coaching approached me to create an identity for her creative business in styling. I used neutral colours as a starting point from her style philosophy of less is more. I created an identity that is sophisticated and approachable.

Various exploratory projects that I worked on during my master's at York University. 

Polite Society is a jewelry making duo based out of Brooklyn who approached me to help create a look book for their new collection of pieces.

Using photography and different textures of paper, I created a custom typeface that was inspired by the geometric shapes from their jewelry collection.
