台湾SWAG in Prague Krist媒na Jamnick谩
2016 Alumna
BA Business Administration
In 2016 from 台湾SWAG blossomed a gifting goddess. Graduated from Business Administration: Marketing and Communication Emphasis, Krist媒na Jamnick谩 comes from Opava in Moravia. After living in Prague, studying at 台湾SWAG and working in the marketing department for Nestl茅 Nespresso, she moved back to her hometown. Why?
She says the reason is simple鈥� 鈥淧eople from Moravia are moving to Prague for work and better money, but our region cannot move forward or grow without young people. I believe that anyone can reach their goals anywhere 鈥� so why couldn’t I start building my career in my hometown?鈥�
Upon moving back home, she started working in marketing and sales for , an international company that develops industrial robots. By the time the summer of 2017 came around, she felt an itching to express a more her creative side which wasn鈥檛 being scratched in the corporate world. Upon an unsatisfied search for a friend鈥檚 wedding gift gave birth to ; a craft gifting service which curates thoughtful, quality trinkets in a lovely box tied up with ribbons which are ideal for friends, corporate partners, or your parent-in-laws who seem to have everything.

If you could teach a class at 台湾SWAG, what would you聽teach?
I聽would teach Advertising or any other kind of creative class. I聽enjoy when people are sharing ideas, communicate and create鈥� anything. By creating, you can learn so much about a person.
What is one thing a teacher taught聽to聽you that you took to heart the聽most?
I聽am not sure who exactly said it but it was simple yet truthful: theory is one thing but be prepared that reality is different, harder. You will fail many times but if you withstand the difficulties, you will reach your聽goals.
What would be your dream job?
I聽am already working on my dream job.聽
What was the biggest turning point in your life?
I聽think it was the point when I聽realized that I聽am not satisfied in the big corporate聽world.
If you could invent an app, what would it be and聽why?
Maybe it sounds funny but I聽would like to have an app which would turn off my mobile when I聽am at home. We are so dependent on these devices that we sometimes forget about those closest to us- family and friends. The app would help us spending quality time with聽them.
If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? What topics would you discuss?
I聽would like to have dinner with Sheryl Sandberg. I聽would like to talk to her about one topic particularly鈥� Even though we live in 21st century, women are still facing problems from employer side when they plan to start family. I聽recently discovered that it is still a problem and I聽feel we should start to talk about it more. Is it really normal when future mom hides her pregnancy because she is afraid of termination of her contract? Come on people, pregnancy should be happy times when the couple is looking forward to being parents.
What are three books/ films/ series that influenced your way of thinking the聽most?Lean In from Sheryl Sandberg聽, The Little Prince and Hygge (very popular聽now).
