About me
Originally a designer and marketer. i have a doctorate in marketing communication and forbes magazine has listed me on their 30 under 30 several times.
I worked as a designer for Etarget and Sygic, and then as an experience designer for Adobe, working on the Adobe Creative Cloud products.
I’m the founder and director of Studio Echt - Brand Experience Design Company. For two years, I was also the head of design for a startup incubator, CEAi. One of the companies we supported there, Healthmode, was successfully sold to the Canadian Mindmed MNMD (NASDAQ), MMED (NEO).
I came up with the second-hand store Nosene, which won the Via Bona award. I host and co-organise one of the world's best design conferences - By Design Conference.
With my lectures and workshops, I’m one of the most frequent guest speakers at Slovak conferences or in-company training programmes.
I co-founded the popular Bistro 24 on Štefánikova 24 in Bratislava, and Hikemates, the biggest hiking club and hiking-focused publishing house in Slovakia.
I promote my home region, Orava, through the Na Orave Dobre organisation, and my other company, Offseason, focuses on renovating and building places that encourage peaceful tourism. In Námestovo, I host my own talk show, which has had an audience of over 2,500 people in the past.
Instead of writing me a long email or calling me, I’d much rather you just come on a hike with me. Cook me some aglio e olio, gift me an oak board, come surf with me, or ask me about the best places to go in Orava.I want to get in touch! -
Books
My first book, 53 pokusov ako byť lepší (53 attempts to be better) became an accidental bestseller.
In addition to two books of essays, I have published two children’s books: a Goral fairy tale which aims to preserve this unique dialect; and Kto preskáče Roháče (Who Can Jump Over Roháče), intended to teach children about staying safe in the mountains.
If you own any of my books, thank you!I want to order! -
