Meet my journey...

1995* M.A. KARPALOVA Kristyna
Design is a broad field, the foundations of which are built on various points of view, and each designer translates these considerations into his own language.
In my work, I follow the design thinking method, which is rooted in the user behavior.
It thus allows to verify the thesis of the proposed design.

Currently I work in a team of visualizers at Škoda Auto. I am in charge of foreign projects, which typically involve pre-development prototyping and examination of reflections and light intensity in external lighting. In Autodesk Vred, I simulate materials and prototype the luminosity of the designed geometry. I work with a team of designers and constructors on a daily basis, which gives me diverse insight into my current focus on development and serial production.
In my projects, I heavily employ 3D modeling, realistic rendering and sketching, all of which have over the years become my passion and professional joy.
I can offer advanced skills in Autodesk Vred, Keyshot, Rhinoceros and Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign and basic knowledge in Grasshopper and Autodesk Alias, CATIA
