I’m 26 years old visual designer who researches, discovers and expresses through various forms. Using design to solve problems, combining it with strategy and usability. I like bold ideas, aesthetics projects and a good crew around me. At the moment, my focus lies in UX/UI area, where I want to create meaningful and wow experiences.
Born and raised near the capital, Ljubljana, but left the nest two years ago and moved to Peniche, Portugal to live the endless summer and study. Left part of my heart in Portugal, but recently returned back to Slovenia, fresh and ready for new challenges.
Surf lover, dawn patrol hunter, good listener, bad writer. Once had a close encounter with a dolphin or shark – it was grey and big. Try not to take myself too seriously and just be a good human – that’s my plan!

Take a look at my
WORK EXPERIENCE
March 2021
On the Roca One Day Design Challenge fifth edition in Portugal, over 300 participants were challenged to redesign the urinal so that it can be safely and hygienically used by any citizen regardless of age or gender. My team took a holistic approach and designed the whole experience. As the challenge was product design oriented, we didn’t win the competition because our approach was too strategic.
April 2017
The start-Up weekend is the pursuit of entrepreneurship, creativity and marketing. There were 30 teams (from Universities). I was a leader in my group and we won with Mauha Bag idea (we made a surf bag).
Refugees
2016
In 2016 many refugees from Syria, Iran, Iraq have come to Europe due to bad and dangerous living conditions. Their homeland was the war zone. I went to take photos. We later had an exhibition and I got the “best picture award”.
Around 2005
I got several gold medals for great swimming technique and style. That’s why I know how to paddle 🙂
