Hi, I am Miro
I am curious, resilient, and always looking for a balance.
I used to be a guitar player in a rock band in my young years,
today after work I am mostly riding a gravel bike.
I design for meaning, not momentum. Balance isn’t hesitation — it’s how I build lasting ideas.
From rocking chairs to mixed-reality car interiors, my journey has been led by curiosity, not ego.
