Industrial and product design. I work across a wide range of sectors—from projects in the automotive industry, transport design, electronics, and furniture to graphic and packaging design. Creativity combined with a passion for forms, materials, and, above all, everything in motion. Whether on the road or off-road, on rails, on water, or in the air!

Description	The design of the low-profile cab was part of the brief for the entirely new FORCE model series. The functionality and practical engineering of the new cabs are thus combined with a modern aesthetic. This low-profile cab shares the same design elements as the taller FORCE cab, which features two air intakes in the front grille. The project also encompassed the complete design of the vehicle interior, which further develops the design language I established for the TATRA brand. Since the brief was clearly defined from the outset, I was able to focus more deliberately on the overall composition of materials and structures. This proved quite challenging, however, as the design had to be achieved with almost no stamped sheet-metal parts. From the very beginning, there were several constraints that appeared, at first glance, to be "unsolvable"—such as the requirement to minimize plastic components on the cab's exterior and the mandate to construct the framework using only standardized profiles. Nevertheless, we managed to make the most of these limited resources, resulting in highly attractive vehicles characterized by clean lines and surfaces, accented by sharp edges. Overall, the trucks are compact and modern—and, notably, they possess a distinct "facial" expression. I identified the front grille as the key element of the entire design; it serves as the foundation, with other design features flowing from its appearance. The grille boasts an original, unmistakable look—the result
