Tvoja tvorba je veľmi bohatá, rôznorodá. Ku ktorému svojmu šperku či kolekcii máš najhlbší vzťah?
Všetky šperky, ktoré som vytvorila, mi evokujú rôzne spomienky a momenty zo života, takže sa mi ťažko vyberá. Prsteň C bol môj prvý prsteň a proste ma neomrzí. :) Následne prsteň XXX, kde dizajn a pohodlnosť hovorí za všetko. Splynie s kožou, akoby bol súčasťou môjho tela. Aktuálne ale vedie kolekcia AARU, lebo s ňou mám najčerstvejšie zážitky.
Aké zmeny by si vo svojej práci privítala a čo by si naopak nikdy nechcela zmeniť?
Zmeny v mojom prostredí a práci prebiehajú nepretržite od začiatku roka 2022, a to vďaka novému štúdiu na pražskej ulici Varšavská 15, ktoré už naplno funguje a rozrástlo sa aj o lepšie technológie.
Ako vyzerá tvoj bežný pracovný deň?
Každý deň je v niečom iný a výnimočný. No podľa mňa nemám bežný pracovný deň takmer nikdy. :)
Čo ťa poháňa?
Môj najvýraznejší motor je perfekcionizmus, no aj vnútorná potreba tvoriť. Potrebujem mať veci uzatvorené a hotové, no ani pracovný život sa nedelí na samostatné epizódy – stále treba niečo riešiť a doťahovať. A mňa tak všetko ťahá stále dopredu.
Čo si si priala a napokon sa ti to splnilo?
Ako som hovorila o vlastnom štúdiu, tým sa jedna časť splnila. Začala som hľadať a takmer hneď som ho našla. Priestor pre hladký priebeh a dobre zorganizovanú prácu bez väčších ťažkostí a zábav.

A means of expression, an emphatic design and an original shape.
The large Es earrings from the USUS collection are hand-modeled and made of silver, plated with 14-carat gold. They are then polished to a velvety matte finish, creating a modern, unique and elegant piece of jewellery.
USUS collection is inspired by the curves of modeling spatulas. In some cases, jewellery directly carries the morphology of a spatula or is inspired by shapes. Individual elements, beautifully shaped and pleasant, are a symbol of creativity, which we cannot forget. The machine-advanced world pushes out creativity which is very important for us from a psychological point of view. We seek everything unknown and forget that everything valuable is in our own hands.
