She was born in Prague in the early 1990s. She studied architecture at TUL and screenwriting at FAMU. Visual imagination and the desire to tell stories eventually joined together in film directing. She often works with child actors. In 2017, she founded film acting courses for children in Prague, where she still works as a lecturer. She also runs a children’s acting agency Kids&chips. For four months she worked as an intern at the London-based architectural studio Atmos. And later she spent a year in Berlin working on a script. In 2022, she founded the production company Cat&chips with her long-time collaborator Adam Struhala.
