Passion for eye-catching and impactful design

I'm a 26 summers old visual designer, using graphic and web design as a medium to transform ideas into solutions, combining it with strategy and usability. With a passion for eye-catching and impactful design, I adore producing aesthetic and meaningful projects.

Currently working as UX/UI designer, creating wow experiences which touch people’s souls. My design skills are evolving and growing along with me, but my past projects and the people who I've worked with made me who I am as a designer.

Left part of my heart in Portugal

Born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia, but studied and enjoyed coastal life in Peniche, Portugal for the past 2 years. Left part of my heart in Portugal, but recently returned back to my roots, to Slovenia, where my beloved people and places are.

A life lover, keen on warm people, old towns, color harmonies, thoughtful design, sunshine, details and nature. Explorer with a camera in her hands, in love with Portuguese architecture and Italian food, impressed by stories of casual people. Organizer by heart, full of ideas and a simple woman, always looking on the bright side of life.
