I AM OLGA.
The person behind OM Design and Photography, OM Tours and CzechByHeart.
My career is a culmination of years of discovery and blending of my passions and interests that connect my love for my birthplace, Prague, and the Czech Republic with my enduring ties to the USA, where I spent over two decades. This experience has shaped my perspective, helped me grow and given me friendships and clients.
With a background in architecture, I practice it part time in both the Czech Republic and the USA.
As a licensed tour guide since 1996, I renewed my license after returning to Prague, specializing in guiding visitors, particularly from the USA, through the rich culture, history and architecture of my hometown. My unique perspective allows me to bridge the cultural divide and explain nuances of both countries. It is a privilege and an honor to be able to help clients reconnect with where their ancestors came from long ago, before they left to find a better life in the USA.
In addition to guiding, I am also a graphic designer, photographer and the creator of English/Czech and English/Slovak bilingual calendars since 2015.
My creativity expands beyond that - I am an avid knitter, soapmaker, and baker, always searching for new ways to create and share.
