About

Hi, and thanks
for stopping by.

I write, edit and photograph for a living. Sometimes I also handle communications and project coordination for non-profit and cultural organisations.

Each story asks for its own form — literary reportage, an essay, a photographic documentary. Whatever the medium, I’m drawn to working in layers, taking the time to go deeper.

Beyond freelancing, I’ve worked with institutions such as Nadácia DEDO (Housing First, homelessness), the Kláštor Creative Centre, and Aurora Reykjavík – the Northern Lights Center.

My work often keeps returning to social and cultural themes, care, rural life, portraiture and natural history. I’m currently based in Košice, Slovakia.
