  • Kudo branding
    Kudo brandingKudo is both a name of a small IT business as well as the nickname of its owner, Ivan Kudeljnjak - an experienced programmer who contracts with individuals as well as other IT companies. The identity uses two visual puns that happened to look great when combined - the usage of characters typically used in programming to spell out "Kudo" underlined by the dreaded wavy red line, which usually indicates a coding error.
  • Earth Law Summit branding
    Earth Law Summit brandingEarth Law Center is a non-profit that advocates for Earth law - a legal framework in which ecosystems have an inherent right to exist, thrive and evolve. This stands in contrast to most judicial systems in which an environmental issue can only be brought to court if a case could be made that said issue harms human rights in some way. Earth Law Summit was planned as the first of its kind and needed an eye-catching branding that would effectively communicate its message - Bringing life to law.
  • CERU Feelgood Food motion desgin
    CERU Feelgood Food motion desginCeru are a brand of London-based restaurants that offer a contemporary take on Levantine cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

  • Reusify branding
    Reusify brandingOriginally named Coffee2go.io, Reusify is a growing startup that wants to help cafés and other businesses ditch disposable materials and help them make more money at the same time. Primary focus is on reusable cups for coffee and tea on-the-go, which customers don't have to clean themselves but instead can simply drop off at any partner café. As Reusify balances its ecological and business agendas, so does its branding by striving to be eye-catching in a bustling cafe while hinting at its green
  • Chess Tent motion
    Chess Tent motionChess Tent is an up and coming online platform for learning and teaching chess. One of the planned services is production of video tutorials and courses, which needed an opening sequence. The result is an animation of a series of chess moves that come together to form the Chess Tent logotype, as well as a simpler animation of just the mark, useful for social media or the Chess Tent website user interface.
  • Hera Title Colorado
    Hera Title ColoradoHera Title provides specialized real estate legal services in 22 US states, having started in 2019 in their home state of Colorado. To promote the services to homebuyers, Hera commissioned an illustrated story for a microsite. During the project, business priorities shifted and the website was never finalized beyond basic prototypes.

    DesignerMcCann Zagreb
     - Zagreb, CroatiaFull Time
    My time at McCann Zagreb was split between working with the digital and the more traditional part of the agency. This offered some unique opportunities to combine the two - for example we could propose not just visual art direction for a project but an animation/motion art direction as well.
