My career path:
After finishing highschool where I was interested in everything, I applied for architecture and social anthropology to study at uni. I picked architecture, and enjoyed the studies, met lot of great people, travelled and learned a lot. After my masters I worked for a year in my hometown Bratislava as an architect, then I moved to Stockholm for an internship and stayed there for another 5 years in couple of jobs as urban designer and architect. When I moved to the Isle of Man, I started to freelance as a consultant, after 4 years I got the opportunity to join the Isle of Man Government and Planning Policy, while still occasionally taking free-lance projects. I learned to recognise my passions and talents, visual expression in my drawings and the magic of connecting people to make great things happen.
