A designer, illustrator, photographer with a passion for nature. With her boyfriend, she has the independent graphic design studio, Crea Crea Studio. Thanks to her diverse skill-set, she has worked with international advertising agencies, start-ups and various brands. Her project Hide and Seek represents her long-time passion for linocut technique.
Okrem ilustrácie máš s priateľom kreatívne štúdio. Aká je tvoja náplň práce a čo ťa na nej najviac baví? A čo je, naopak, najväčšia výzva?
Okrem ilustrácií robím grafický dizajn a fotím pre naše kreatívne štúdio Crea Crea studio. Čo sa týka grafiky, tam spadá viac-menej všetko – od brandingu a tvorby loga, dizajny obalov, tvorba časopisov, vizuálov a podobne. Fotenie zase znamená skôr tvorbu obsahu pre rôzne značky – hlavne flatlays a lifestyle.
Najviac ma baví, keď môžem prepájať dizajn s ilustráciou, a keď mi klient nechá voľnú ruku pri návrhoch. Naopak výzva je každé jedno zadanie. Je to zodpovednosť, priniesť niečo vizuálne pekné, ale zároveň aj funkčné, zrozumiteľné, aby bol s dizajnom či vizuálom stotožnený nielen klient, ale aj samotný zákazník.
Ako si pri freelance práci aj tvorbe udržuješ disciplínu? Je to pre teba dôležité?
Myslím si, že som disciplinovaná, čo je výhoda, preto je organizácia času pre mňa prirodzená. Mám rada, keď je robota hotová a nestojí zbytočne. Ak chcem stíhať aj iné aktivity, je kľúčové mať dobrý time-management. Najlepšie sa mi osvedčili to-do listy, bez ktorých nedokážem fungovať.
Potrpíš si na priestor a podmienky, v ktorých tvoríš?
Tým, že rada a relatívne veľa cestujem, naučila som sa robiť a tvoriť „za jazdy“, preto aj priestor či podmienky úplne nehrajú rolu. Samozrejme, milujem svoj vlastný pokoj, preto sú večery na tvorbu moje obľúbené.
Vtedy všetko stíchne, spomalí sa a ja mám ten správny čas tvoriť. Väčšinou popri tvorbe počúvam filmy (ideálne také, čo som už videla, aby ma veľmi nerušili), hovorené slovo ma upokojuje a dokážem sa prepnúť do tvorivého módu.
V čo veríš?
V dobro ľudí. Že je ešte stále v každom z nás. :)
Po čase strávenom na Slovensku sa opäť vraciaš do Austrálie. Prečo? A čo máš na nej rada?
Prečo nie? :) Austrália, respektíve Sydney je už môj druhý domov, žila som tam niekoľko rokov a mám to tam rada. Hlavne život pri oceáne. Som vodný živel a vždy ma to ťahalo k vode. Ľudia sú tam viac uvoľnení, usmievaví, ten životný štýl, ktorý ponúka život pri oceáne, je pre mňa na nezaplatenie.
