About me
Hi, I'm an experienced Graphic & UX/UI Designer with a demonstrated history of working both in cultural and commercial sectors. I'm a business development professional skilled in Brand Identities, Visual Communication, Typography and Digital Products. My goal is to transfer an idea or a written thought into an eye-catching, meaningful, visually transmittable message. I've worked with many professionals such as Freelancer.com, BIPA, and Školska knjiga (one of the largest publishing companies in Croatia) I'm also passionate about Illustration and social design that tackles complex human issues. Me in a nutshell: Graphic & UX/UI Designer, illustrator and passionate chocolate eater.

  • "We Need to Talk" Box of Chocolates
    "We Need to Talk" Box of Chocolates"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." — Forrest Gump's mom What happens when the age old motif of the heart-shaped, “I love you”, box of chocolates, gets a more “sinister” turnaround — perhaps the love you have, becomes the love you had, and the thriving heart of a loving relationship beats itself into shattered pieces. Our box of chocolates questions the relationship between the stereotypical symbols of happiness and love, and balances a thin line between a sorrowful goodbye, and a play on the irony behind the communication of love by undermining the expectations with a few choice words: "We need to talk" — the opening “lyrics” to many a lovers' quarrel and relationships' {un}timely end.
