Landscape Architect

I am a landscape architect and planting designer working across Europe. My work is rooted in a deep respect for the relationship between people, plants and place.

I studied Landscape Architecture at Mendel University in Brno and broadened my academic experience at the Politecnico di Milano. I later completed a Master's programme in Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of Sapienza University in Rome.

Nearly eighteen years of living in Italy has profoundly shaped my understanding of landscape, culture and the expressive power of plants.

Today I work on projects primarily in the Czech Republic and Italy, but also across other European countries. My work encompasses the design of private gardens, parks, public spaces, green roofs and commercial landscape projects.

I perceive plants as living structures. I create compositions that transform through the seasons, support biodiversity and connect contemporary design with natural processes.

At the same time, I approach every project with an architectural perspective — carefully balancing space, form and atmosphere. Every place has its own story and every client brings a different vision.

For me, every garden is a dialogue between nature, place and the people who inhabit it. This makes every design process unique — and every garden becomes its own landscape.
